Keeping Informed: Recent Grand Island Educational News

  • Preparing Students for Careers - The orientation packets that the up and coming freshmen are receiving are quite different than in the past. The eighth graders are now encouraged to begin thinking about life beyond high school, and how to get there through course choices. The school career development counselors are available to assist the future freshmen to begin thinking about their career options so that they may make the most out of their high school experience.
  • Character Education Rally - During the winter, the Character Education Rally at Lincoln Elementary did something different: they danced. The after school dance club, under the guidance of D. Hilton, performed an energetic hip-hop dance routine for the school. The students and staff had a great time watching them, and afterwards the students got to learn a few dance moves to the music and dance away the afternoon!
  • Students Use New Tech Gadgets - “This is My Life” is the theme which students will be focusing on, now and in the future of their Spanish courses. In the past, the students have given presentations (oral and written) about their lives and their future plans for their lives. Now, they are taking it up a notch by allowing the students to use any technology device they wish in order to convey their stories. Some students are using iPads, iPods, Power Point Presentations, and other means of technology to spruce up their presentations. The incorporation of technology into this Spanish project gives the students more options in sharing their stories and pictures to go along with them.

Chalk Talk: Thinking About Careers

What grade level is the “right” grade level to start thinking about a career? It depends on the student, of course, but some say it is never too early. Under the guidance of teachers and counselors, students nowadays are encouraged to begin thinking about what they want to do with their future. When signing up for high school classes, students who have an idea about what field they want to pursue will be able to enroll in courses that will assist them in the confirmation of their decision, or will give them an opportunity to discover that it may not be the career they really want. Either way, getting in the mindset of what occupation they want to have one day is a great idea!.
