For English, she taught the class how to break up paragraphs, and in Socials, they did review on an upcoming Middle Ages quiz. Near the end, they did two Kahoots that I also participated in....

Bring Your Kid To Work Day (TOKTWD)Hear, see, smell, and feel) This work environment somewhat resembles our school but in the form of a small animal shelter. Inside and out, its architecture leaves much to be desired. Ugly support beams and fluorescent lights are prominent, and it has portables. The furniture and décor, in the lobby and office are non-descript. One pleasant thing about the design of this work environment is there are many big windows letting in natural light and that it has high ceilings. You will commonly see cages, toys, lots of windows, and animal food in the rooms where the animals are kept....

Take your kids to work dayI went to a cafe for TOKTWD. I went to the cafe with my mom, and I helped distribute some food at the cafe for about an hour. I heard people talking, and music playing for people in the cafe. I saw the kitchen, people, tables and chairs. I smelled beverages such as coffee and flavored beverages. I felt a little bit hot because of the heat used to cook food in the kitchen....

Take your kids to work dayOn TOKTWD, I went to my dad's office where he works as a manager at Aardvark tents. I stayed in his office while my dad was managing the phone and setting up schedules for the workers. We also went to fill up some tanks for the propane heater for the tents. I found out that they actually do a lot of things such as setting up a place for movie filmers to stay, on the wall there were many autographs on celebrities thanking them for a place to stay warm at or cool at. Usually there are many festivals such as the rib feast that the company sets up tents for. This was a very eye opening experience and really showed me that work is hard and has to be very efficiant, managing this type of job is very hardwork and it shows that my dad really works diligently....

Take your kid to work dayOn Take Your Kids to Work Day, I had an exciting experience at Pitt Meadows Secondary School. I spent the day exploring lots of different classrooms, where I had the chance to talk with teachers about their subjects and teaching methods. Their passion for education was really inspiring. I also ventured outside to explore the school's outdoor areas, which included small playgrounds where students can relax and socialize. Walking around, I could see the line of lockers in the hallways for students. The rush of kids going from class to class, and the liveliness of the entire school was fascinating. To see the daily life of high school students up close makes you really appreciate the learning environment they have....

Take Your Kids To Work Day!My Workplace Visit Experience On November 6th, I visited LaSalle College Vancouver. My mom, who is a teacher, was busy with her own work, so I explored the campus on my own with permission, I visited different departments like cooking, game design, and fashion design, each one offering something unique and exciting. The creative energy in this college was inspiring, and very fun. Students were collaborating and sharing their ideas ;moreover, it made me curious about my future in university. LaSalle had lots of colorful displays and the cafeteria seemed so fun and it also owned a ping pong table. Furthermore , I personally would not be able to work at such place, I noticed how my mother struggled with some of her students being distracted, so the amount of patience she has is unbelievable! I could never see myself working as a teacher because I simply don't have the patience....
