TRANSITION
5th grade students have many questions about what is in store for them when they enter the middle school as a 6th grade student. I spend time with them in their 6th grade classrooms answering their questions and sharing as much information about their new school as possible. Currently, I am working with 7th grade students who are preparing a presentation which will address many of the questions and concerns 6th grade students have about coming to a new school.
CAREER EXPLORATION
I am currently working with our 8th grade students on a program called Xello. This program allows our students to take several interest inventories and explore careers which are of interest to them. The students will also be creating a portfolio and resume for the first time with this program. Everything that our students create on this program will be accessible at the high school when working with their high school counselor.
