Juniors and seniors of the Early Childhood Education program assisted in the WUES field day yesterday. They helped facilitate stations, joined in the fun and were able to utilize the opportunity to learn the importance of time management, organizational skills and most importantly, the importance of building relationships with students and showing them that even future teachers like to have a little fun! It was a hot day and we are so proud of the effort these students showed and the positivity they brought to the day. Here's to a great summer!
In Mr. Crump's World History Class, Katy Fuchs & Jaiden Parker went above and beyond on their final project! Students had to create a 3D-model timeline of the topics we covered throughout the year. These students wouldn't normally cross paths since they are in unrelated CTC programs - nonetheless they created a fantastic final project and collaborated well!
