Teaching- By teaching in my classroom and doing lessons I have completed the requirement.
Recreation- Our class went to the science museum to visit the Myth Busters exhibit, completing the requirements.
Appreciation- Before Christmas break we gathered after school to make hot chocolate in jars as appreciation gifts for our teachers. We also created Wooden block with their names on them to give as gifts.

Leadership- To complete this section I volunteered to help out at a elementary school aspire party.

Last year i competed in the chapter scrapbook and went to state for it. This year I am competing in the Portfolio competition and i will be attending state for it as well.
Fire Safety
The Fire department came to the school to show the kids the fire truck and the outfits that they wear. The purpose of this was to show the students what to do in case of a fire, but also who to look for and not to be scared of the fire fighters when they come to get them out of their houses.
Plant Observation
After realizing that the majority of the students had never been exposed to gardening before, we did a a lesson where we planted carrot seed in the gardening bad and then had each student pull a weed out of the ground. After they had their plant they got to draw it out and open in to look at the inside.
Holidays Around The World
The entire kindergarten class gets together every year and does a holiday around the world rotation. Each teacher is responsible for a different tradition and they teach the group of rotating students about that specific holiday/tradition.
My Future as a Teacher
As a senior i have taken my SAT and ACT, I have applied and been accepted at Texas State University and Tarleton State university. Next year I plan on attending Tarleton. I haven't figured out housing or scholarships yet. I like this school because it is a small school with a good education program.
