Jobs will be announced when we return from vacation. Below are pictures of some of our students on their interview day.

Math- Callie's Cake Pops

Description of Photos Below:

In math, students worked with partners on a word problem involving a real world scenario. Students had to show their thinking on paper in an organized way. Below are pictures of students as they worked with their partners. Tomorrow we will conduct a gallery walk so they can look at each other's work. Students will write a star about what a team did well with their math thinking and wish of what they could do to improve.

Extra Credit: Ask your child to explain Callie's Cake Pops and how they solved the problem. Sign off in their assignment book and they will receive extra credit in math.

        

        

        

        

        

     

    

                                

Interviews

As part of our economics unit, students are applying for classroom jobs and will go on a formal interview with a Fleming staff member.

In social studies, your child received a "How to Prepare for Your Interview" sheet.  We went over the sheet in class and will role play and prepare in the days to come. Students were given index cards in which they can have bulleted notes for their interview. Interviews will be held on November 12th, November 13th and November 14th. Both classes are very excited! Ask your child what day they are interviewing and who they are interviewing with.

Job Applications & Interviews

As you are aware, job applications and letters of recommendation are due on November 7th. The last part of the application process will be an interview. Many amazing staff members have volunteered to conduct student interviews.

Your child will find out tomorrow whether their interview is on Monday, November 12th, Tuesday, November 13th, or Wednesday, November 14th. Their day and time will be written in their assignment book.

We will be role playing and preparing for the interviews in class. You can help your child prepare for their interview by rehearsing the following:

• Practice a greeting (handshake, eye contact etc.)
• Ask your child to tell a little about who they are.
• Why are they interested in their three jobs?
• What are important skills they need for their three jobs?
• What should their body language look like throughout the interview?

Lastly, we ask students to dress the part for their interview. Students will be able to change in and out of clothing so they do not have to wear their interview outfit all day.

This is an exciting real world experience for our classes. Thank you in advance for your support. Please don't hesitate to email with any questions.  mcoviello@ewsd.org
