It's great to be back at Scott! The kids have made the transition from "full-time mom" to "working mom" much easier, thanks to their enthusiasm and positivity.
This week, we got back into the swing of things with Mentor/Mentee Monday Meetings. During that time, many mentors expressed concern that their mentees were behind in school work. We agreed that a weekly homework day would be extremely beneficial, so as per their suggestion, mentors will collect mentees' work each Monday, then tutor the mentees during YESS on Tuesdays. I'm extremely proud of their investment in the success of their mentees and how well Ms. Coleman strengthened the bonds between all YESS students! On Tuesday, we began implementing our homework day. Wednesday, I had the privilege of honoring some of the students with an ice cream party, which they earned through their hard work while I was away. Thursday and Friday were spent studying truancy and creating solutions for students who ditch school. They are creating slide shows that provide details of a program to increase attendance, then presenting them to the class.
