Lori Verde, a fourth grade teacher at Millstone River School, organized a two-week career fair for students in fourth and fifth grade.##M:[more]##
Professionals gave mini presentations for groups of students during the first three days. The presenters focused around 12 academic categories and the classroom teachers had supplemental packets of material to integrate into their daily teaching.
Each class had a 40-minute block of time in the computer list to complete a scavenger hunt activity through a website entitled, “What Interests You?”
The goal of the career fair is to make students aware of the jobs and professions available to them based upon their interests.
