Monday and Tuesday, we worked on our Coat of Arms project. This is an outstanding opportunity for our scholars to reflect on their lives and illustrate the things that are important to them. Check out one of my favorite examples from one of my favorite scholars!
Wednesday, we honored all the students who had birthdays in June, July, and August. I brought cookies and many students supplemented with their own treats! When everyone had eaten their snack, we played "Pin the Head on the YESS Logo" (my special version of Pin the Tail on the Donkey). The kids had a great time!
Thursday was busy in class and after school. In YESS, we discussed the definition of Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and how the events in our world could be affected by SEL concepts. Back-to-School Night took place in the evening and was mighty fun. I always enjoy meeting our scholars' families!
Friday, we participated in a fun team builder that challenges students to stack plastic cups in various formations. The hardest one was to put all six cups one on top of the other. A couple teams were able to get five, but gravity got the better of them.
I'll be gone on Monday, the 11th, so tune in on the 12th for our newest edition!
