The Ag. 1 classes continued working on their 5 board benches in the wood shop, Ag 2 and Ag 3/4 students got finished up with their Arc welding review and safety and the Agscience students continued our unit on plant systems!
Wednesday is creed day here at CASH! All three of the Ag 1 classes are learning the FFA creed and the older classes are working on memorizing the S.W.E.A.T Pledge. The S.W.E.A.T pledge ( Skill and Work Ethic Aren't Taboo) is an awesome pledge that was written my Mike Rowe. We are coming along well on the creed but realized the fourth paragraph was causing some problems. Therefore, before students are allowed to go into the shop, they must increase their creed score by at least 5 points.
The week was going along great but on Thursday I got to experience my first snow day after the temperature and wind chill fell to below negative 20! While it was nice to get a little break and get caught up on some school work, the snow day meant that our after school square dance demonstration for the local lions club was also cancelled. It also meant that this week was gonna be a 2 day week for me because on Friday I spent the day in Happy Valley with the rest of my student teaching cohort!
Getting back together with the other student teachers and the advisors at Penn State was great! We covered so much during our day together. We shared how our student teaching experiences were going, talked about interviewing for jobs and having our resume and cover letter ready to go and so much more.
While this week was very short it was still another week of great learning experiences! I'm looking forward to next week because we have a loaded schedule full of awesome FFA experiences in celebration of national FFA week!
