November 6th - 10th

We had another wonderful week over here at SCMS! Here's the breakdown:

On Monday, the mentors continued to promote positive attitudes in the classroom by writing words of encouragement to their mentees. They also supported one another by offering advice to those who are facing challenges in the YESS classroom.

Tutoring Tuesday was even more successful than usual, as students are feeling pressured to complete assignments before Thanksgiving Break.

On Wednesday and Thursday, we began an in-depth study of the brain. We learned a lot about the anatomy of the brain and I got a kick out of the students who asked why we were studying science in YESS. Of course, the way the brain works is important to know as we begin learning about emotions and I enjoyed having this discussion with the scholars. To add some Kagan fun, we added a Quiz Quiz Trade to solidify the new words we learned. Take a look at some of the good times below!

We celebrated our November birthdays on Friday with snacks and a movie. The kids always enjoy honoring their classmates' births and I like seeing the positive feelings, as well!
