San Joaquin Part Trois




Hello all. I hope all is well. Yesterday, we completed the third part of the Resiliency program in San Joaquin. We started out with some review. The teachers and mentors have been working on the student's family trees. Mrs. Santana shared part of hers. The stories were hilarious. One of the students shared a bit of information regarding the day she was born. Thank her mother for taking care of her aunt on the day of her birth. lol. We introduced the concept of goals. The students participated in a variation of the "don't eat the marshmallow" activity. I am delighted to say that 100% of the students were able to delay gratification. I am sure that their chips and juices were more delectable after learning about the benefits of delaying gratification. We also introduced some of the follow-up activities. We have attached some of the student's work.

Enjoy,
Alfredo and Janelle
