Hello Coordinators,
Here at Lincoln Plaza, besides avoiding the heat as of mid week, we have enjoyed playing various sports and some crafts. Two weeks ago I assigned my students a special assignment in the computer lab. I found out that one of my high school students will be finishing school this summer and what brought joy to my heart is that this student is only a junior. Wow!
This very highly intelligent student made me realize that at such a young age, they should have ideas of what to do when they grow up. When I asked her about her future education, college came into the conversation...I asked her about colleges and she said she was going to work in a packing house with her mom because making money is more important.
So what I developed was a worksheet where the students from 6th and up are to research 3 colleges and 3 jobs that interest them...they must fill out the worksheet along with a paragraph on each career option and why they picked it, not just because it offers a lot of money either. We have been working on this for a while now and many of them have thought about colleges especially my high school students.
This week we also made some tulips because many kept asking if I knew how to make flowers out of felt like the ones we did for mother's day. So I showed the student's how to make tulips from felt and taught them how to create it by finding a template and being creative all around. Enjoy!
