Take Our Kids To Work

Working for a living isn't all it's cracked up to be -- and once a year, during the month of November, students get a chance to experience it first hand. As part of a nation wide program, grade nine students get to shadow their parents at work for an entire day. They learn so much about the different occupations, the role of the family, and about themselves. It truly is an opportunity for self-discovery in a safe, controlled environment. So many students have been telling me about their amazing experiences that I thought I would delve into the program to gain insight and a better understanding of it and its value. How does it fit into our Saskatchewan curriculum - or does it? Hmmm . . . what better time to do a little discovery on my own then now - for Interrogating the Curriculum class!
