Hi all!

| Students vs Teachers Football Game. The students easily won! |
We had a fun Homecoming week here at West! The students were busy the various theme days and activities including the staff versus students football game, homecoming court, the West vs North game, parade, and of course the dance. In addition to all of the fun homecoming activities, we also had a busy week discussing Community and introducing students to the Race unit.
On Monday, Sara came back in to help with our Mentor Training and led the discussion for periods 5, 7, and 9. This gave myself and our Family Advocate, Ms. Patricia, an opportunity to spend some time with the students and have conversations with them individually and in small groups. Tuesday we picked up where we left off by having a discussion about famous mentor relationships in history. From there we introduced students to the SEL 5 Domains through a poster activity. We then used our remaining time to finish up our time capsules from last week.

Wednesday and Thursday were busy days as we discussed scholarship, what an ideal student looks like, and how we can become ideal students. I also took this time to talk to students about various academic topics such as time management, organization, GPA, SAT, and answer some of the general questions they had. We plan on continuing our conversations on these topics and take a deep dive on an individual one each week. From there we introduced students to the culture unit by discussing the vocabulary and examples from their own lives. Many of the terms can overlap and be confusing we made sure to take the time and explain and discuss each of these terms before we move on throughout the unit. Overall a fun week here at WLA and I am looking forward to diving into the Race unit next week. See you then! -Ben
