Designing Teens

Today in the afterschool program we talked about ways to improve our teaching skills. We also did role playing situations to handle the students that we teach. I had a fun time afterschool today.

This week has Been good for the most part. we have been wrappinng up our lessons with the kids since we are getting close to the end of the summer. The kids here at ames are all, well for the most part, well behaved. but there always has to be the few Bad people in tha group. but for the most part they are cool.We went over to the 5050 building (science center ) today and got our I.d. pictures taken, after that, we got to look around in the different areas and different models and all the cool stuff in the buildinng. It was fun and I would go back if I had the chance. honestly I might be coming back over the river this weekend but im not absolutely sure what we are doing. Well, that is all I have to write for righht now but I will be adding more later

Our first college workshop was this weekend and it went pretty well. Attendance was high as The Scholarship Foundation of St. Louis presented information on 0% interest loans and Missouri MO$T presented information on tax-free college savings programs. Parents and teens also stayed to learn about free scholarship databases and how to recognize financing scams.

If you weren't able to attend this workshop, don't worry. We will be hosting two more events this Spring, one in March and one in April. If you would like any information from the College Financing Workshop, contact Tim Mulhall (me) at mulhallt@gmail.com and I will forward what I can.
