Lately my classes and I have been having a blast getting to know each other by playing get to know you games and filling out student cards that helps me to understand them better as scholars and as young humans outside of school. At the end of the week last week I quized their memory about the YESS program in ACHS and what it is all about, many students won reeces and kit kats!
We started the year by having one on one meetings with each student to identify whether or not the program would be a good fit for them considering what they are bringing to the table transcript wise and experience wise so that I could formulate a list of kids for the counselors regarding who needed to be removed to pursue their elective passions elsewhere. This took up most of last week but after those were finished we moved onto the Question Ball game where each student caught the ball and answered the question beneath their right palm. After all of my classes completed this we have moved onto what I had planned for today, which was our Heads Up team games!
I made enough home made lemon cupcakes over the weekend for all of the winning teams in my classes to have some incentive to compete for and boy did this game not disappoint! They were getting really competitive with the points and for a Monday, it sure was exciting and rowdy in here. I will save the rest and possibly even include a video in next weeks blog!
Wish us luck that we will get the rest of our rosters evened out so we can move onto YESS lessons!
Until next week,
Ms. C
