Week 30 at Scott Carpenter

Well, this week was interesting. Testing season is upon us and this week was yet another short week for students! On Monday the Mentors reviewed 9 different quotes from famous leaders around the world, picked their favorite quote and had to do some activities around the quote. One of the activities was a drawing contest to create a visual representation of the quote and some of them were incredible. On Tuesday we spent some time reading the Hate U Give. On Wednesday we had mock testing day and had shortened classes where we read more of the Hate U Give and played some clear your mind games. On Thursday we had our fun Friday and some classes went to the gym to burn off their energy. Other classes opted to stay in the room to have card tournament games. I want to let everyone in on a little secret. If you are struggling with a student or even your own child, teach them a card game and beat them! Not only does this stimulate a positive, sometimes competitive, relationship with the student, but it also stimulates them wanting to learn from you in a fun way and makes them want to keep coming back to play!
