All the parents who filled out the YMCA application for afterschool.  It is long!!!  But having the YMCA run our programs has led to a lot more clarity and structure than past years.

What's Happening at 131?
131中学正在进行什么?
Something new at 131 this year are Community Circles.  Every Friday, 6-10 students and one adult get together for a period in a Community Circle.  The purpose of these circles are to provide a safe place to share and learn about each other, focusing on topics that often get overlooked in class.  We'll explore how to be better and more supportive friends, how to accept differences among people and how to help lift people up and not put them down. 
There are a few parts of a circle that are important.  There is a talking piece to ensure everyone's voice is heard.  We sit in a circle, allowing everyone to have an equal place in the group.  We have a curriculum to follow that allows us all to develop a common language.  
After the first two weeks, the response from students and teachers has been overwhelmingly positive.  As one 7th grade student shared with me, "I didn't think my teacher liked me in math class because, but in our circle I realized that she was actually really nice and believed in me."
社区圈子是今年的131新事物。每个星期五,有6-10名学生和一名成人在社区圈子里聚在一起。这些圈子的目的是提供一个安全的地方,以互相分享和相互学习,重点放在课堂上经常被忽视的话题上。我们将探索如何成为更好的朋友和更具支持性的朋友,如何接受人与人之间的差异,以及如何帮助人们振作起来而不是让他们失望。
圈子中有几个重要的部分。有一个说话的片段,以确保听到每个人的声音。我们围成一圈坐,让每个人在小组中享有平等的位置。我们有一个课程可供遵循,使我们所有人都可以开发一种通用言论。
在最初的两个星期,学生和老师的反应非常积极。一位7年级的学生与我分享道:“我不认为我的老师在数学课上不喜欢我,是因为,但是在我们圈子里,我意识到她实际上非常友善,并且相信我。”
