Donna Blankenship's post

Here is my blog.

Can't wait until Tuesday.......

School has not started yet but we had open house last Thursday. Students were coming in with their parents and were so excited to get started. I placed a manikin on each desk along with the paperwork parents needed to fill out while in my room. My bulletin board was another thing students were excited to see. I added all the ideas from NTI to the board such as the current wages for cosmetologist in our area and "Look Who Made the News" section. It contains photos of students from last year and their newspaper articles. One section of the board has the Salon Staff badges and some of the students were telling their parents that they could not wait to "work in the salon." Several said they thought something was different about me from last year.

  1. Hey Donna,
    I am looking forward to hearing about how your year has changed. I have heard some of the same. You have great ideas for your class. I love that you had a mannequin on each table at open house. Whether the student was really interested in styling hair or not, I can see them having a good time in the class. I think that was a nice touch along with the name badges. It sounds like you are bubbling over with excitement to begin! Girl, you are contagious!

  2. Donna,

    I really enjoyed your suggestions to use in my classroom this school year. You come with several ideas that can be implemented with FCCLA fundraiser and so forth.

    Organzation is the key to a successful classroom. Having students feel as if they are actual professionals in the Cosmetology industry, will allow them to make better choices in the classroom.

    I really enjoyed reading your post. Keep sharing those awesome ideas.
