Career Ed 9 - My Career Brainstorm

Brainstorm and jot down answers for the following categories:

1. Jobs/careers I would LOVE to have:

2. Jobs/careers I would HATE to have:

3. Jobs/careers I think I would be good at:

4. Jobs/careers that interest me, but I don't think I could do (and why?):

Once we get thinking about possible career paths (which, of course, may change several times in the coming years), we will focus the majority of this course on developing our organizational skills, goal setting, and other skills that prospective employers will look for.

The light at the end of the (school year) tunnel!

Can you believe how soon the end of the year and (eek!) final exams are approaching?! After today (retreat day), there are only 18 school days left until finals. WOW!

Just so that we're all on track to sail into the end of the year, here's a breakdown of how many classes are left for each of the subjects that I teach. If these numbers apply to you, please take note so that you can stay on track (i.e. making sure you're finished your online theory in time for the June 18th deadline if you are a band student, for example):

9-O RESPECT brainstorm

RESPECT: What does it mean?

- listening to other people
- doing what your teachers ask
- treat others as you would like to be treated (the Golden Rule)
- stand up for others
- give people the space they need
- respect the privacy of others
- be just/fair
- don't judge people based on: looks, background, clothes, education, culture, religion, lifestyle, size, colour, etc.
- peace
- walk away from conflict when necessary, give people space when you're having a disagreement/fight, respect people even when it seems difficult
- if necessary, talk to someone else when you're angry with somebody - don't take anger out on them - or talk to them and tell them how you feel in a mature, respectful, and productive manner (no immature name calling)
- take a deep breath, count to 10
- respect for self (body, mind, spirit)
- respect your goals, stay true to yourself


Once you have created your RESPECT poster, please save it with your first and last name and hand in to the 9-S drop box (NOT 9-O please as I do not have access to it). Thanks!

Updates (Festival, homework, etc.)

Congratulations to the Senior Choir, the Gr. 7 and Gr. 8 French classes, and several individual students who represented our school at the PA Kiwanis Music Festival and received scholarships during the vocal/strings week. Congratulations also to the Level 2, 3, and 4 bands on their performances at the Festival on Thursday. I have just been informed that the Level 2 band is receiving a scholarship this year! Way to go, girls!

And now, some homework updates:

- Computers 8M: Your 2nd own choice assignment is due next class in addition to any overdue past assignments (subtlety, friendship, the first own choice assignment, nature quote, etc.)

- Career Ed 9: Please bring your agendas to the next class (which will be held in my classroom, not the computer lab). Also, bring your ideas of how you plan to complete the team paper flipping exercise! It was definitely interesting to watch in the last class. Remember that no feet, hands, etc. can touch the floor or anything surrounding the paper!

- Science 7: 7L, continue to work on the questions assigned last class (p. 151-152 #1, 2, 3 (a)(b)(c), 4, 6; p. 156 #1-4; p. 161 #1, 3). 7C, new assignment will come next class.

Have a great weekend!
