October 5th - 9th

The weather may be cooling off, but the work being done between Scott's mentors and mentees is just beginning to heat up. This week, the scholars explored the concept of metacognition by learning about thoughts, emotions, and the subtle differences between the two. By the end of these lessons, students were able to define the word ruminate; describe how thinking could be useful to us, as well as a hindrance; identify where we feel the physical symptoms of emotions; and differentiate between thoughts and emotions. Take a look at some of the kids' work below.
