We're getting towards the end of the school year here and determined to finish the year strong.
On Mentor Monday we started preparing for the end of year event by making some posters.
Tutoring Tuesday was a great day for students to see what learning targets they can make up before the end of the year.
Wednesday and Thursday was the Wheel of Burnout/Caring. This was a good concept for the student's to learn. They realized that sometimes friends, family members and other people will wear them down, stress them out and even let them down sometimes and that's OK. We talked about the best way to get through those situations is to understand where the person is coming from, let it go and continue to be the best you possible. If the relationship continues to be a strain, be honest and open with that person and let them know what your needs are as a friend. If they can't/won't change or even try to, you may need to cut them out of your life. Overall, a heavy lesson but I appreciated their resiliency and willingness to talk about difficult topics.
