There are so many ‘buzz’ words in education – Common Core, reading workshop, rigor, goal-setting, project-based learning, STEM…just to name a few. 😉 In my district, STEM has been THE spotlight word.
 In the mornings, we always have a ‘spare’ few moments (i.e. all three 5th grade homerooms are never ready to trade at the same time) and normally we watch a Flocabulary video or practice root words as we wait. With the increased focus on STEM, I have begun sharing this time using 3-5 ‘spare’ moments a week learning about different careers my friends could have in the future. I used this article as a starting place!

What a fantastic idea of sharing unique, interesting jobs with your students! I need to do this! Many of my students just want to be professional athletes. Now I'm all for following their dreams…but let's face the facts…most of them won't be pro athletes.

What a great post! One of the schools in my district is becoming a STEM magnet school soon. I'm sorry to say that I don't know much about it, but it sounds interesting!
What I Have Learned
What a great way to get students motivated. It helps makes the learning in the classroom seem relevant to real life. It is also great to have goals!
