The board... I got Pre-K to help me on this one because who doesnt want to see a cute little 4 year-old dressed up?!? So they have costumes in their rooms so we dressed them up and took their pictures to make the board!! Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, We love Careers, How about you??
So topic of the month is CAREERS...
Ok so for careers I have been wanting to start a career portfolio for all students in my school.. so I FINALLY did that this year.. the folder will stay with them until 5th grade. Each year we will research a career or two and I will keep the work in the folder. Therefore, each year they can look back and see what they did the year before! So for lower grades I chose 5 careers, made a poster with a corresponding coloring sheet, and we discussed them. After the discussion each child could pick one career they wanted to "be" for the day! At this point they colored the career sheet they chose and then told me 3 things they learned about that career!! Super easy!! I am old school so I made the posters myself... a PowerPoint would be easy then each year you could just add to it!! Just a thought...
A sample folder that the student decorated...
For upper grades I used this amazing book that my principal so kindly purchased me a classroom set of last year... They are great research tools.. The older kids picked one career, researched it in the book, and answered the questions below! I am not a worksheet girl AT ALL, but this was the only way to have them record what they learned!! This will go in their portfolios! I let them decorate their folders when they were finished.. They really enjoyed this.. More than I thought they would!!
Week 2 of guidance still to come....
