<div dir="ltr"><div>We do a Career Day every year at Beggs Elementary. Parents/grandparents/former alumni come and speak to one grade level (1st - 4th) about their career for 15 minutes per class (we have four classes per grade level). Many times the speaker will bring something for the students like rubber bracelets with the company name on them, etc. You can usually get a local dentist, health department nurse, minister, banker, etc. if you are in a small town like we are. We have coffee and bagels for the speakers.</div><div><br></div><div>At the same time, we have Careers on Wheels set up outside: firetruck, police, ambulance, Game Warden, electric company, Highway Patrol, heat and air, National Guard vehicle---even a farrier brings his horse. One year Channel 6 in Tulsa brought their helicopter! During the inside speakers, the Kindergarten and Pre-K classes attend Career on Wheels. Then when the inside speakers are done, the 1st and 2nd tour the Career on Wheels and then the 3rd and 4th tour. The Careers on Wheels volunteers are here from 8:30 - 11:30, then we feed them Subway for lunch.</div><div><br></div><div>We also do Jr. Achievement in our school and don't have to pay for it as we use recycled kits and get our own volunteers to teach it. High school students teach the Kindergarten Jr. Achievement. Both Career Day and Jr. Achievement introduce the students to careers during elementary school.</div><div><br></div><div>Judy Disch</div><div>Beggs Elementary Counselor</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Mar 2, 2015 at 2:32 PM, OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:counselors@lists.onenet.net" target="_blank">counselors@lists.onenet.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Last year with my 4th graders ( I am at a 3rd & 4th school), I had them do a career search on what they wanted to be & then they created posters that covered salary, education, locations of that job, & pictures. I planned on doing a wax
museum with them dressing up like their career choice & standing in position and as someone came by & touched their hand they recited information about their career but that didn't get arranged in enough time. I worked with them twice a month for a half an
hour.<u></u><u></u></p>

I am asking past students of Wilson Schools to come back and talk about<br>
their careers and how education is important for that career. We are<br>
setting up 15 minute sessions, 6 morning and 6 afternoon, where the students<br>
will rotate with a 5 minute break in between each.<br>
