NIACC instructors came to visit the 5th grade today.
The Entrepreneur for a Day (E4D®) program is dedicated to teaching 5th grade students the fundamental principles of entrepreneurship and how to start a business. Students learn the distinct differences between becoming an entrepreneur and being an employee. One of the goals of the program is to get kids thinking about being a job creator versus a job taker. We encourage them to understand that entrepreneurship is a viable career pathway.
◾During the first day, trained facilitators visit the students’ classroom and get them excited about the program by introducing terms and concepts of entrepreneurship.
◾The second day, students are invited to visit the NIACC campus where they choose a product, borrow money from a bank, buy resources they will need, make the product, then sell the product and determine if they made a profit.
◾The visit concludes with a tour of NIACC which offers students a sense of campus life, diversity, and validates college. Many of these students may be the first generation in their families to attend college, and the campus presence enables the students to make a post secondary connection.

A really neat program called Rockin’ Prevention is coming to
work with our kids in the morning on bullying prevention. Richard O. Jacobson donated money to this
program, and in return he asked that they come to Jacobson and perform! Go to http://www.rockinprevention.org/ to
learn more about it!
We will begin our Growing up health talk on Friday and
complete it on Monday. Nurse D teaches
the boys and Mrs. Kern teaches the girls class.
The kids usually end up with some questions after these days, so don’t
be surprised.

Grade update
Thanks to Mrs. Mick and Mrs. Wagner, I got several of the assignments the kids completed last week. You'll notice some assignment grades going in today. There will be some assignments with no grades, due to the no school day. Don't worry if you see an assignment without a grade. They'll eventually be entered, after Mrs. Wagner gets to those assignments. Remember, I'm checking my email on a daily basis, so if you have any questions, shoot me an email.
