4th and 5th grade are getting ready for Career Cafe starting October 17th. In preparation they participated in a Career Interest Inventory that I conducted in each of their classrooms. Student answered questions about their interests as well as gave their opinion on a list of jobs. I will then use this information to invite them to specific Career Cafe speakers that would appeal to them.
1st grade is participating in some very special curriculum that was provided through a grant from the Delphi Education Foundation called Student Success Skills. In October, they are being introduced to the foundation of this program. It is all about creating a great learner. This month's lesson has four main ideas including paying attention, practicing good listening, asking questions, and never giving up.
2nd grade is receiving one of my all-time favorite lessons which includes a reading of the book Simon's Hook by Karen Barnett. This book teaches how to handle teasing and put-downs from others in a positive way.
3rd grade's focus for this month is listening and following directions. Initially I test their ability to follow given directions. This was followed by a reading and discussion of The Worst Day of My Life Ever by Julia Cook.
