Classes and clubs

Our classroom is open to students when they are not in class. So what do we do when they are? We pay them a visit.

This week, all of the mentors started going into classes at the invitation of teachers. Each of the classes is matched with a mentor, and the mentor and teacher will then plan and collaborate together. All of the ESOL teachers had requested a mentor in at least one class, so we have the opportunity to work with many different students in many different settings. Soon, we will also start working with subject-area teachers.

Next week, we will start our clubs and events. We have many clubs during lunchtime and after school, including the continuation of our art, English conversation, math, and reading clubs. We are also starting several exciting new clubs, focusing on citizenship, drama, music, and science. We'll also have a workshop to help students register for the SAT and a trip to the national college fair next weekend.
