I haven't blogged in about a month! Sorry. I have been a bit overwhelmed. Slowly, I am getting organized and my efficiency is kicking in.
In CLASS we have been working with Dr. Phyllis Bales on relaxation techniques. She has taught us how to "ground," how to "run energy" through our bodies, and how to "pull our auras in." What we've learned is the power of the imagination to calm ourselves. Some of this has been difficult for some of the kids to get. But today it seemed we had some breakthroughs with the freshmen who appear to be understanding how to calm themselves and are actually using the practice in their lives outside of class.
The sophs are such a bizarre class with really loud kids and really quiet kids and not too many in the middle. Some of the sophs are simply disruptive during our quiet relaxation time which is highly annoying to the rest of us. Next time I think I will ask the noisy ones to step outside so the rest of us can relax.

The purpose of CLASS is to teach students the skills, strategies and information they need to be successful students in high school and college, and to be good citizens who give back to their community. This blog is a daily record of what happened in CLASS. Tutors and other interested folks can check here to see what is being taught in CLASS so they can reinforce it in their tutoring. This is also a great way for parents to stay up-to-date on what their kids are learning in CLASS.
