In case your student forgets their Spring Break Homework Sheet, you will find it below. Also, on Thursday we modeled interviewing more thuroughly than last week. Students should know what to expect both over the phone and in person. They also know that they are to solidify an interview, if not do one over the break. It is on our N.O.N. timeline as due March 28th, but anytime that next week will work as well.
We had a busy week, trying to stay on top of N.O.N., our regular Core Knowledge and deal with Spring Break fever. We enjoyed using our space heaters to create some uncomfortableness as we used child labor in our make shift factories. We had an assembly line for cards and one for shamrock necklaces. Students worked in the small space under their desk to simulate cramped working quarters and the reality that children were often times used because they could fit in small spaces. They weren't happy when their pay was one pretzel, as another thing about child labor small stomachs, they didn't have to eat as much to keep going. It was enlightening and the students actually liked it. In the end realizing that quality can be lost in the factory assembly line, when some shamrocks looked like teeth. I did take pictures and will try to get them up on the blog shortly (my cord has grown legs).
All in all a good week,
