Yesterday we had six exchange students from Japan visit Mosaic. We talked to them about Mosaic and what we do, then we played some team building to get to know each other, then we went to #scichat and watched a science video, then we did a simpler “silent chat” with gestures and ASL, last but not least we created artist trading cards and traded them with each other.
Also on Thursday, we had 2 gentleman from CAPS, Center for Advanced Professional Studies, out of Kansas City fly and be in Mosaic for the day while they watched some presentation and seminars throughout the day. We also had business people from within the community come for a social lunch with the people from CAPS, the Mosaic teachers, CV’s principal and some of the Mosaic students. In a continued effort to create some business partnerships and authentic projects for all of us students.
Thursday morning 20 or so students went on a field trip to Clear Sky Elementary to listen to 1st graders present their research on possible jobs for the future. The jobs ranged from butcher, crafter and firefighter, to dog groomer, hair stylist, banker and florist. The presentations were in the forms of posters, songs and videos. The 1st graders enjoyed having the high schoolers there as much as the high schoolers enjoyed listening to the presentations.
It was closer to 50 students that went to Clear Sky Elementary School. Phew!
ReplyDeleteFun, our first grader was one of the kids that presented at Clear sky on what it takes to be a fire fighter! He loved it.
ReplyDeleteWas that Ryder? I learned all about firefighters from him!
