I am also really happy that afterwards we will begin our mini-unit entitled 8 To Be Great. So shine on BMS students… you are going to do great, and you will be successful!

Conflict Resolution Champions!
How can you solve a conflict without making others mad? Is that even possible?
That’s what 8th graders have just recently learned about in Career Management class. What better way to learn than to put your newly acquired skills to the test through the Conflict Resolution Challenge! Students were split into groups of 3 or 4 and given 3 different scenarios, or conflicts, to solve using both common sense and conflict management strategies they learned in class.
And now for our winners….drum roll please!!!!

Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Way to go to these 7th grade Career Discovery students for winning the House Cup trophy for best presentation of our Acceptable and Unacceptable Attitudes’ and Behaviors’ Challenge. Do you have acceptable attitudes and behaviors? Your success in the future depends upon it! #AttitudeCheck #BehaviorCheck
What Do I Want To Be When I Grow Up???
This is the question of the week students in the BMS Career Center are addressing. You would think it would be too daunting to answer, but for most students it’s not!
I love the fact that students really like to talk to each other about what they are going to do with their lives after they graduate high school. They love looking down the long – but actually short! – road envisioning what their futures might be like. (IT’S AWESOME TO BE THEIR TEACHER AND SEE THIS TAKING PLACE! I TRULY DO HAVE AN AWESOME JOB!)
How do students go about accomplishing this task? We break it down in different ways. When you read a 6th grader’s blog post on this subject, they are simply brainstorming prior knowledge they have acquired about what they want to be when they grow up, telling why they want to do it, and what they think it will take to get them there. On the other hand, 7th graders are learning about the 17 Georgia Career Clusters and have to approach the question from that angle. What’s your plan A, plan B, plan C? Eighth graders do all of that and then take it a step further by identifying the pathway they have to take to attain the career of their dreams.
Good things are happening in the BMS Career Center! #SuccessStoriesInTheMaking
