August 22nd - 26th

There are already some bonds being forged by the scholars and, even though we're still missing some mentees, this was a successful week! For the first several days, students worked with a partner to create an artistic representation of their similarities and differences.The kids did a great job. Thursday and Friday were spent doing teambuilders. We played Four Corners and the M&M Game. Additionally, we had a tower building contest today. The winning tower was more than four feet!

Next week, we'll be diving into some academic enrichment centered on writing and its importance.

August 16th - 19th

We're off to a great start at Scott Carpenter! The mentors are eager to be paired up with their mentees, who are still joining the ranks. I'm already pleased with the level of professionalism being shown by the mentors. This week, we did a lot of relationship-building. Games were the name of the, well, game! We played Who Am I?, which encouraged students to ask each other good questions. We also completed two classmate scavenger hunts before beginning a small art project. The project highlights similarities and differences between students and their classmates and provides an opportunity to introduce multiple Kagan Structures and Thinking Maps.

Ready for kids!

Students' work will be displayed here throughout the year!

These scholars are doing a wonderful job!
