I just wanted to send you a few ideas to do with your student this month. We really appreciate your commitment to mentoring these kids and we ask that you make sure to go every week.
The students will not have school November 24th – 26th
Thanks,
Cora
Take a puzzle to do with your student.
Take a game to play with your student or some of the libraries have games in them.
Make flash cards to learn difficult concepts or memorize things for tests. Making them together helps the student learn.
Do a crossword of thanks – Write the words Thanksgiving across the middle of a piece of paper. Have each person write his own thankful words using a letter in Thanksgiving or in one of the others words someone else has already added.
Get a mentor workout. Take turns finding words and phrases and pronounce them as if they were spelled backwards. See who can turn them around fastest.
You can find mini mysteries at kids.mysterynet.com/solveit read them and try to solve them.
Bring 10 to 20 items and place them on a table and cover with a cloth. Remove the cloth for 60 seconds and then cover it up and see how many things they can remember.
Just some ideas to practice spelling words:
Make a list of spelling words write a rhyming word for each.
Make a 2in. square and see how many words your student can write inside.
Have your student draw a picture. Have them hide their words in the drawing.

I hope these ideas will help you and if you have any of your own email them back to me for next month.
