We are over halfway through session 4 and our heroes havenāt slowed down! They continue to work on improving their skills and crushing their goals. Now is a great time to check in with your learner on how well they are slaying the monsters of resistance, victimhood and distraction. What do they need to do in order to accomplish their goals by exhibition?Ā
We are halfway through the session and getting better at chess every day! The heroes are improving at notating, learning new strategies, and taking their chess skills seriously. Improving strategy in chess is linked to improving skills in other aspects of life like math. The heroes took a basic math skills drill at the beginning of the session, and are going to retake it at the end of the session to compare. We canāt wait to see how their end of session tournament goes!
This week we read āThe Giving Treeā and in the Elementary Studio started the āSeasons of Giving Challengeā! This challenge invites learners to write daily in their gratitude journal as well as display heroic traits such as kindness, encouragement, dedication, and honesty. This is a session-long challenge and heroes have the opportunity to earn a popcorn/movie party.
This session was over in the blink of an eye! Session 3 was a short one, but it is onto Session 4 where the quest will be focused on chess! The Elementary Studio had a fabulous exhibition and we canāt wait to see what the next session brings!
Our heroes have been doing an excellent job this week of identifying the monsters they are facing in the moment and challenging each other to slay them! Which monster do you encounter most often on your journey - resistance, victimhood or distraction?Ā
Itās a new session and we officially have a new hero in the Elementary Studio! Tucker completed his trial week and the tribe has voted for him to join the group. Congrats Tucker and welcome to the ES studio! On Friday, the ES learners decided to trade in their hero bucks for a lunch limo to Chick-fil-A. We also experienced a lot of Halloween fun between costumes, baking, and art!
Session 2 came to an end and it was a busy week! The ES had a mini exhibition and the Childrenās Business Fair. We had another entrepreneur visit, but this time the Little Heroes got to sit in on the interview as well!
The theme of this week was gratitude! Both studios had several discussions about what gratitude means and what they are thankful for. The ES heroes started writing in gratitude journals and sharing what they wrote in closing circle. What are you thankful for today?
