Week 29 at Scott Carpenter

What a week! This week the students had amazing energy leading up to Spring Break! We finished talking about the Wheel of Burnout and the Wheel of Caring. The students had great insight into what makes them feel like they want to give up and how they can break that cycle and advocate for what they need. On Thursday we started exploring different social justice issues because the students will be doing a class project at the end of the year to create change in their neighborhoods. This week we watched some videos that explored what causes hate to continue, what is global warming, the current state of water in our world, and what is it like to become a US Citizen. On Friday we had an assembly with a Police Officer from Boulder who is also a comedian and the kids loved him. He brought a friend who was a former Denver Broncos player who gave our kids a little Hawaiian culture lesson. And of course, fun Friday where we had some pretty intense card tournaments!
