Wednesday and Friday Meetings

Hello everyone hope those of you who participated in the high school camp had an amazing time. Im personally excited to be attending the Middle School camp this weekend. Id like to share with you all how our meet went on Wednesday during lunch. Were getting a lot of returning students for every meeting which is great and they seem to enjoy the team building activities. One of the things I believe we're still struggling in with is the fact that we don't get as much time with the students since it's during their lunch. Our Wednesday after school meeting was a little challenging as we don't have such a large number as we did the first time. The reason being that a lot of the students have to do after school tutoring or intervention programs and they are mandatory unlike our mentor meetings. Last meeting Pahnia and I decided to purchase composition books in order to motivate the students to reflect on paper rather then verbally as we were doing before. We have also implemented the idea of having word of the day as there school uses this concept and the words we choose deal with different aspects of the mentoring philosophy. Fridays meeting went great we meet during their lunch and since Panhia wasnt present I conducted the meeting and the activity we did was The Attention game. It was challenging at the beginning but once the students got the hang of it they really seemed to enjoy it. The five students attending the camp are really excited and I'm trying to figure out what will happen with our lunch meeting this Friday since we usually meet from 11am- 1pm.
Hope everyone is having a great week....
