WELCOME TO LIFE SKILLS/CAREERS INFORMATION CENTRAL I am excited about teaching my students in this unusual learning environment. Our lab is a wonderful place for students to learn through integrated lessons the skills needed to be successful in "life." Please join us to share your life experiences.
You may contact me at 704-633-4775 ext.133. My planning time is 2:05 - 3:15 daily.
We will continue with our various hands-on activities and career investigations as usual !
Our state of the art technology lab allows the students to explore various careers and to do exciting job related activities. The sixth grade class explores careers through hands-on-activities and by learning from speakers on many topics!
The seventh and eighth grade classes work in a cooperative work setting. They complete seven days of computer generated assignments as well as three assessments per module. The rotation is concluded with a group activitiy of job related skills.
The modules are: LAB MANAGER
BAKING AND MEASUREMENT CHILD CARE
CONFIDENT CONSUMER MICROWAVE COOKING

CLOTHING CARE THE LAW OF TWO X SEVENOne of the key elements of the Synergistic Lab, is the law of 2x7. This means that most of the time two students work together at a module for seven days.
