Second week of school

On Monday, all of the mentors started going into classrooms to work with students. Each week, teachers can request that mentors visit their rooms, and right away, three teachers asked for mentors for a total of 22 periods this week.

We see many students in our own room, but when we go into other classrooms, we get a broader cross-section of the population. Many of them are new to the school, and after seeing us in their classes, they visit us when they are not in class as well. Many more students are coming to see us to chat or to get help with homework, especially after school.

Meanwhile, we continue to put our room in good shape. Our balloons and streamers from the party last week are still up, and we've been filling up our bulletin board with announcements, white boards for the students to write on, and a suggestion box. We've also gotten some new games in the room, like Uno and Scrabble. So far, Guess Who? is a big hit.

Our programming schedule starts tomorrow with Art Club.
