Junior Achievement

HOLA,
I am so excited to start working as a Junior Achievement Ambassador. I was assigned to work with the 3rd grade at Hillcrest Elementary. I am well aware that it will be the most challenging class in comparison to what some of my other classmates are doing (ie. Kindergarten-2nd grade). My lesson plan deals with City Planning and some very crucial information about engineering and what necessary planning goes into certain city projects.
 








The main purpose of Junior Achievement is really to inspire younger kids to succeed in a global environment. By having volunteers as Junior Achievers- it teaches them the importance of community and helping others within it. I still have not heard from my teacher or the Junior Achievement contact. I will try sending another email and phone call Monday morning.

Last week, we got a course packet of information. It detailed what we would be teaching the children. I am working with John Schafer. Hopefully he and I can come up with some creative ideas that will keep the kids engaged to what we have to say. I think by incorporating a lot of pictures and easy to follow material, it will work out great.

In the next few weeks, I will be finding when I can go and meet with the class. I hope to follow up my next blog with some pictures and a detailed report of what I anticpate out of the class. Also, I plan on writing a lot more in Spanish. I just wanted to first give a detailed outlook. There is a lot more blogs and information to come about my Spanish adventure so please check back often!

Unitl then. HASTA LUEGO.
