March 9th - 13th

This week, we began our first round of PARCC tests, which meant we were on a weird schedule for several days. The kids worked hard on the test, but seemed to be out-of-sorts for their other classes. Because of this, we took it easy and focused on strengthening the bond between mentors and mentees by playing games and starting a project called "Love Cup." The love cup assignment is allowing the students to ponder what "fills them up" and what "drains" them. Once they've completed the artistic portion, I've asked them to write a paragraph. Take a look at some of the kids working below!
