Classroom jobs are part of daily life for a Gillen Brewer student, as they work to develop awareness, a sense of community, responsibility, independence and leadership. In this classroom we emphasize leadership, so each day there is a different student leader who has certain privileges and responsibilities. These include leading the Pledge of Allegiance, assisting the teacher, caring for the class pet (a very handsome leopard gecko named Harry Spotter), leading lines and choosing their gym partner first. The student leader is expected to be a role model for others. We wanted to find more opportunities for our students to be at their best, embrace the possibilities that come with being “the big kids”, and be of real service in their school community. Thus the idea of our students being “Bus Monitors” was born. Each day at 1:45, the Student Leader and a classmate of their choosing help the preschoolers walk to their buses. So far, the response has been wonderful: Pre-K students, their teachers and the Baseball Plants themselves all love the new plan. Our students really get to shine and get the recognition they crave and deserve. There are a few pictures below from the first days; we will post more as each student gets their chance at this exciting new job. Check out the truly cool “Bus Monitor” pinnies!
