All students were interviewed this week for their JA BizTown job. Students applied for their top three jobs, Ms. Peavey and I interviewed them. AwesomeNess Althetes did a great job using their manners, shaking our hands, sitting up tall during the interview, speaking clearly, and thoughtfully responding to the questions.

One part was so sweet, I had to share: When asked "Who do you admire most and why?" many students told us they admired their parents. They had many reasons: because they provide for our family, they're self-less, because they have dealt with really hard times well, because they started a whole new life when they came to America, etc. So just know that they notice your hardwork and how you deal with things, whether they mention it or not.

During the same explorer unit, we learned about how the Hudson Bay Company hired men to trap animals and then trade their fur. Students participating in role playing. Half the class were Hudson Bay managers conducting the interviews. The rest of the class were interviewing for a fur trapper position. Both sides had a list of demands, but they also had to learn to compromise on issues they could deal with or without.
