September 5th - 9th

This week was shortened due to Labor Day, but no less busy! On Tuesday and Wednesday, students drew entries for our YESS 2016-2017 t-shirts. Nearly every scholar entered a design, which was voted on. The winning entries will need some minor tweaks, but they look fabulous and I'm excited to get the shirts printed!


On Thursday, we used some Kagan activities to compare and contrast our values. We also practiced a Kagan structure, Round Robin, to ensure each student's voice was heard. The kids thoroughly enjoyed working with each other in this manner.

Friday was our very first "No Fun Friday!" The scholars were keen on the irony of the term and we had a wonderful time during "Pass Right, Pass Left," during which students passed dice while listening intently to a story. Then, we played "Wanna Buy My Monkey?" This game allowed students to be silly and make others laugh. Of course, they had the most fun when I was the monkey and had to sing, dance, and hop like a frog. Pride is overrated, right?
