This week, the YESS scholars were very busy. They started by writing letters to themselves, which were included in time capsules. At the end of the year, each student will be able to open their letter and reminisce on their first few weeks of school. They had a great time deciding what other trinkets they might like to include in their capsules, as well.

In the middle of the week, we explored who would make good mentor/mentee pairs. We used a lesson called Speed Matching to allow every mentor to meet each mentee. The scholars were then tasked with analyzing the potential relationship and providing private feedback to me regarding whom they would work well with. The kids' feedback was surprisingly insightful and is tremendously helpful as I assign partners.
On Friday, the students were given some time to design their 2015-2016 YESS t-shirts. They really enjoyed being given artistic license and I've already received some fabulous designs. They've been given this week to work on their creations at home and we'll vote on the students' favorite next week.
