This week, we focused solely on Emotional Dwarfs in class. The students practiced looking at pictures and identifying the EmoDwarf on Tuesday, then created comic strips that highlight the behavior of one EmoDwarf. Check out some of the their creations below!
They really did a fabulous job on this project and I can't wait to hang these up in the hallways. Plus, they've been using the lingo in their conversations, which demonstrates that they're learning!
I've begun the recruitment process for the '15-'16 school year and have received more than 40 mentor applications. Most of these students will be interviewed by current mentors and me on Monday. The teachers have been extremely helpful with this endeavor, so far. Next week, I'll be collecting teacher recommendations and working with the students they suggest. Not only are the teachers supporting the YESS Institute, but the administrators have been supplying me with books and a DVD about emotional wellness.
