Thinking about last week was really rough due to the behavior issues at my school. I will say my most proudest moment is when my students got permission to design a bulletin board within the school was great. We were working on the Sanitation standard and they had to design Newsletters about Foodborne illnesses such as; E. Coli, Salmonella, and Hepatitis A. One of the student came up with idea of the class notifying the public of an 'Outbreak". The board was right outside the cafeteria, so they knew plenty of people will see it and gain some knowledge of the different foodborne illnesses. Why this moment made me proud because I use some of the small group strategies and a new template to create the newsletter. The students were engaged in the activity and they made it into a competition who had the best one.
Hey Joi!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds fun. The topic alone "Outbreak" makes me want to come and help with the board. I love doing projects that display students creativity. Students feel real good and prideful about projects that gives the opportunity to display their work. It is so good that they are excited to do this. I'm not creative at all; however, I enjoy looking at creativity at its best! I'm s happy for you and your students! You Go Girl (in my Martin voice)!!
Joi, this is a wonderful activity for your students. They obviously have pride in their work as they became competitive with each other. This is also a great project to "advertise" your program and the culinary field. Good Job!
