February Recap

February is going by fast and there is only three Project Lead classes this month due to President's day. The lessons this month included an activity on listening skills, leadership and dating violence. Students really enjoyed the leadership activity I think because it was a game on determining who the leader is. As the year goes on I am learning in order to keep their attention the activities need to be more fun. The listening skills lesson was fun because teachers and to read a short paragraph then students had to work in groups to determine how to answer the questions that could have two completely different endings. It was amazing to see how students interpreted the passage.

On Monday students will review a "Toxic Relationships" video through Discovery Education and have a class discussion. I felt this was an important lesson to do with it being Dating Violence Awareness Month. I am curious to see what the students think.
