Lincoln is in the process of finishing up last minute duties before we start up! Mr. Medina and I have met with all the Mentees and Mentors for the 2016-2017 school year. Remember here at Lincoln, YESS is different from all the other amazing schools! Lincoln is an after school program that meets every Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesdays are homework days, Mentees partner up with their Mentors to sit down and get some homework done. Thursdays are the days we work on our EMO Smarts. Our Mentors sit down with our Mentees and try to gain their trust first, then they start working on how they can help their mentees learn how to calm down and not act out. Also, how to express their feelings in different ways by learning about hot buttons. We are fortunate that we have a lot of returning students from last year who already know the procedure. We are all excited to see what the school year brings us.
