To be successful you have to work HARD, but there are other traits successful people have in common:
6th graders are learning all about work ethic this week, while 7th and 8th graders are reviewing work ethic and then moving on to 8 To Be Great. When they catch on, the sky will be the limit! 🙂
Don’t forget to subscribe or follow your child’s blog! Just click on the link to their blog located in the right column of this page where it says meet our student bloggers. Hopefully students put a widget on their blog in order for you to be able to subscribe or follow them. If not, they can do it on a computer at home. Then you will get e-mails letting you know when they have added a post like I did today when my daughter posted something new! 🙂
Be sure to tell other family members and friends too! #FollowTheirBlog
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
A big thumbs up goes out to Mr. Bishop, his students in Bangladesh, and Skype for making our #MysterySkype such a success! My students’ brains were in overdrive! It was fun watching as students were mulling over the answers to their questions and trying to deduce where in the world Mr. Bishop and his students were. Way to go Corrina for figuring it out… now go get you a piece of candy! 🙂 #FutureFridays #MysterySkype

We are very excited to have our first #MysterySkype tomorrow! Second period 8th grade students will be meeting our Future Friday speaker, Mr. Jimmy Bishop, via #Skype and will try to figure out where he lives on planet Earth. After that, he will be talking about his career. #SkypeClassroom invited us to post pics on their website of our #MysterSkype session! We will be posting them at education.skype.com/stories as well as on our blog.
Here are some of the questions students have submitted for our quest to pinpoint where he is:
Students are working diligently on their blogs learning all the ends and outs of how to set things up and all the verbiage that goes with it… plugins, widgets and the like. I’m very impressed with what my students are producing and can’t wait to press the publish button! The unveiling for student blogs will be no later that Friday, January 16, so please check back soon. You will be impressed!
