This week, although short, was jammed full of fun. On Tuesday We started the day with CNN10 and talked about current events. Since the students haven't really started getting homework we used this day to finish our Shared agreements and our Coat of Arms.
Then on Wednesday we did speed dating to help get to know everyone and write a list of who each person would want to be paired with. On Thursday we were going to start our SEL lesson plan, however, an activity I thought was just going to be our warmup ended up taking the entire class. I had the students write a letter to their Mentor/Mentee with questions like "I need the most help with...", "The best way to approach me when I am upset is..." and other short question prompts to help the Mentor and Mentee better understand each other.
This week we are looking forward to learning about SEL and building a strong foundation for the Mentors and Mentees!
