Today, we talked about how to be happy, healthy, and succeed in middle school! We gave the students access to a "survival guide" of sorts with the best tips and tricks of how to be a good student and lead a balanced lifestyle.
First, we provided some basic advice that we wished we had known when we were younger. These included using an agenda, joining clubs, and getting enough sleep at night. We are glad that we have the opportunity to share this information with them now to better prepare them for the obstacles and how to navigate their day-to-day lives.
Then we talked about learning styles, which was a very captivating topic for them. The students took the VARK Questionnaire and found out what mix of Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Reading/Writing learners they are. We thought this would be incredibly helpful so that it can guide their study habits.
Finally, we discussed effective note-taking, enneagram (personality) types, and offered our help with their homework.
It was a very productive meeting, and we hope that we gave the students the knowledge and tools that Mind Blowers was founded upon.
