I have the privilege of visiting 6th grade classrooms this year to facilitate character development, goal setting, career exploration, and social skill building. Students will gather during second period Enrichment periodically to participate in whole group events, discussions, and projects.
The bulk of this year's activities will be focused on two project based learning initiatives. The first will be Kindness Matters. Our 6th graders will be divided up into teams and each of those teams will be tasked with creating an event or initiative that promotes kindness and respect in the school or community.
The second project based learning initiative will be a career development project. Students will engage in research, use self-exploratory tools for career exploration, participate in "soft skill" building, and then create a presentation to deliver to elementary students about a career of interest.
Stay tuned for updates about these exciting student centered learning projects.
