December 1st- December 5th

This week we began the clothing drive. The mentors of the program are in charge of tallying the academic enrichment classes on who is wining. The students are in charge of promoting the drive to the students, as well as keeping in contact with A Precious Child on the progress we have made. We have one more week of the clothing drive left.

This week we discussed accountability and what it means. We used some of the curriculum but I do not want to do any of the big lessons without their mentees present.

My mentors are beginning to get nervous because next month they will receive their mentees. We did a few scenarios and discussed way of handling the situations. The students are great and they brought up lessons we did a few weeks ago, such as the 5 stages of listening.

We finished up the week with doing a Self-Portrait activity. Students are more open about their home life than they were when we did the life time line at the beginning of this course.  The self portraits came out amazing. I have some amazing students in my class who have a lot to offer their mentees.
