Dear 3rd Period

Dear 3rd Period,
I am thankful for you! I love the fact that you come in eager to learn every day and love to participate in our fun, and sometimes corny, activities. Each one of you bless me more than you’ll ever know because you are just you – bright, cheerful, and thoughtful – which are some of the adjectives that come to my mind when I think about you. Thank you so much for being such a good bunch of 6th graders to teach!
I know all of you will be successful in life. God bless you this Thanksgiving…I hope it’s the best one ever!
Sincerely,
Mrs. McBrayer

Dear 6th Period,
I am thankful for you! Do you know what I love about your class? You truly are the BEST 6th period class I have ever had the privilege to teach! You are well behaved (the best behaving 6th period class I have ever taught!), respectful, eager to learn, energetic, and the list goes on. Both individually and collectively, you are just a sweet bunch of kids! You even seem to enjoy my goofiness. (Lol and thanks!) Above all, you demonstrate day in and day out all we have learned about work ethic. That’s icing on the cake for this teacher!
All of you are going to be successful. I have no doubts about it! I’m praying for God to bless you richly now and always.
Sincerely,
Mrs. McBrayer

Dear 4th Period,
I am thankful for you! Do you know what stands out the most about your class and each one of you individually?…That you are HAPPY! As a matter of fact, you are the happiest bunch of youngsters I believe I have ever taught! At the same time though, you know when to settle down and get to business, and for that I am truly thankful! I also love the fact that you encourage and stand by each other. Those are 2 qualities that will help you be successful in life.
I pray God blesses each one of you richly this Thanksgiving.
Sincerely,
Mrs. McBrayer
Dear 1st Period

Dear 1st Period,
I am thankful for you! Both collectively and individually, you are a caring group of young people. I love seeing you work together to help each other and me. For example, you were eager to lend a hand when all those stuffed animals for Y-Club needed to be inspected and boxed up to be shipped overseas…all 327 of them! You are also nice and respectful to each other, which is a breath of fresh air as I witness this day in and day out during class.
I know each of you will be successful in life! I’m thanking God for you this Thanksgiving.
Blessings,
Mrs. McBrayer
Marketing Interpersonal Skills
How well do you interact with others? For the past week in the BMS Career Center, 8th graders have been learning all about how demonstrating good interpersonal skills will help them be successful not only now as a student, but in the future as an employee as well.
Students’ culminating activity was producing a t-shirt with a catchy slogan and design that markets, or advertises, the interpersonal skills they have learned about. Here are the winning t-shirts from 2nd and 5th periods!….
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
We’re Getting There!
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!
