By Nelle Ratliff, principal In conjunction with Penta Career Center, Mrs. Beach worked with students on career readiness and introductions: Introduction to Careers We kicked off our career awareness initiative by showcasing the Introduction to Careers Kit to second, fourth and fifth grade classrooms in some of our member schools. Students were able to learn about the Holland Code-Realistic (R), Investigative (I), Artistic (A), Social (S), Enterprising (E) and Conventional (C) and how these work styles are important to future career choices.
Second grade students began with a read aloud to “There’s a Hat for That,” by Kevin Fleming, and then filled out a career awareness assessment. After that, they participated in a career matching game and decorated a community helper career character. They ended the day with filling in a career day activity page.
