I really enjoyed the Jeopardy game that Dr. Leytham came up with to review information that the kids have been studying. It seems like it is one of the only group activities that engage in all day. They enjoy the competition and seem to gain some confidence when presenting a correct answer. The positive environment carries into the classrooms, but it does not take long for that to wear off when they get down to book work. The kids seem more willing to interact with us and ask for help after they have seen us present a group activity. There is one particular kid who stands out. He is knowledgeable about many subjects that he is not currently studying and easily makes connections that are not obvious. He is apathetic about doing his work, but when I showed some interest in what he was working on, it seemed to help him focus and get some work done.
