Preping the shop |
- You have to be strict with taking students out of class. When students find out how much fun it is to work in the ag shop for the day, they want to come back down or stay there. The advisor's job was to make sure students were going to their classes, no one was skipping class, and students were following procedures. Students will try to be tricky. They will do anything to get out of class. I have found it best to give incoming classes the procedures and task outside of the classroom, then round them up at the end of the period. This way you make sure the students are going in, washing their hands, and leaving.
- You can never plan too far ahead. Going through inventory, collecting orders, and preparing the shop are all important for this type of fundraiser.
- Have fun with it! I joined the students throughout the day when stations lacked help. It was a relaxed environment to get to better know your students.
Morning pep talk with Mr. Wallace |
Until next week,

As we are approaching the end of your internship, I really want you to take more of a reflective stance when writing your blog. How are you growing? How have you changed?
