Happy Holidays

Enjoy the break!

Careers is done!

Well, we finished our careers unit just in time for break. The students should have all their work turned in. After break we will start our unit on economics. This will take us through the semester at the end of January.

Thank you all for caring so much about your children and how they are doing in school. I feel very fortunate to work (and live) in such a great community! Happy holidays, enjoy some family time!

Careers is almost done!

Today in class we went through our pink checklist of everything that needs to be completed by Thursday, Dec 18th. This should help the students see what they are missing and need to complete. I do have extra copies of everything in my room if needed. Please see my previous post for the list of what needs to be turned in. Stay warm!

Careers Outline

Today we worked on our outlines in class. The students will also get tomorrow to work on them during the hour. These outlines should be completed by Monday. Each student will need their outline next week when we begin working on our projects.

Each student has a pink half sheet of paper with a list of everything they will be turning in for the careers unit. These items are due next Thursday, December 18th. Here's the list...

Careers

This week in our careers unit we will be discussing non traditional jobs.  Jobs where a man or woman decides to work in an occupation made up of the majority of the opposite gender.  (Female police officer, male nurse)  

We will also start working on our outlines.  Each student will choose a career and create an outline about it. Then they will use that outline to create a project.  The students have this information in a handout.  These will be due Thursday, December 18th.
