January 20th - 23rd

The mentors and mentees worked really hard this week on identifying some of their roles within the class. We followed lessons from the workbook to devise lists of what mentors and mentees should do, as well as what they should not do.

Additionally, the students completed personal coats of arms. I asked them to depict things like their family, their best friends, their future career, what animal best represents them, and two of their favorites (food, shoe, color, etc...). Their artistic abilities were surprising and I really enjoyed talking with the kids about their thought processes while completing this project.

Next week, we'll begin practicing mindful meditation with the mentees, which is something the mentors have been asking about for weeks. We will also be creating life maps!
