Last Week REMINDERS

Parents and Students,

                We have thoroughly enjoyed working with you this year. It has been amazing. We will really miss you all and wish you the best in everything that you do in life!

 

Reminders:

-          Monday is our Kenworth Park field trip. Students need to wear sunscreen and bring a water bottle. Hats, visors, and sunglasses are allowed. Don’t forget to wear tennis shoes!

-          Wednesday is our Awards Ceremony and Yearbook Signing. Remember to bring your yearbook if you have one and wear your fifth grade shirt!

-          Thursday is the dance and then the 5^th grade walk. Parents are invited to help line the front halls as our 5^th graders walk the halls for the last time. We will begin the walk at 12:00.

-          We need 2 stamps and a self-addressed legal sized envelope to mail report cards. If we do not receive these, your child’s report card will be held for pick up.

 

Career Essay Research Instructions

Career Essays and Brochures Instructions

You will have the opportunity to research and present information on a career that interests you or one that you would like to know more about.

You are required to write an essay on the career of your choice and create a brochure to present.

The information that you will collect for your essay is as follows:

1. Introduction (name the chosen career interest, identify the career cluster associated with the career, and list the reasons why you chose the career)
2. Training and Education (the requirements for specific training or education needed to obtain a job in the chosen career interest)
3. Work Environment (information such as indoor/outdoors, office or fieldwork, type of dress for work, individual or group work)
4. Salary, Growth Opportunities, and Job Outlook (opportunities for advancement and need for this type of career in the next 10 years)
5. Closing ( a reflection on the research information and a conclusion about whether you still have an interest in this career after learning more about it)
6. References of the resources you used in the research process.

 

You will use the Career Notes page to list three careers that interest you. Then, you will choose one of those three careers to research and find out more about it.

Next, you will research your chosen career and take notes on the Target Career Notes page. There are five categories that you must research and include in your essay. They are listed on your notes page.

When your research is finished, you will write your five paragraph essay.
