Today we saw some great professionals at school, who taught us a lot about what it takes to do their job. Students came to school dressed in an outfit that represented a career that they are interested in. They had to do research on that career and present what they learned to the rest of the class. What a fun day of learning!
The Monarchs Visit
On January 21, 2016 we had a great treat at school--a visit from a few members of the 2015-16 Manchester Monarchs!
Several players came to visit a few first grade classrooms and read the book “The Bulliest Dozer” as part of the Monarchs Against Bullying program.
After reading the book, students got to ask the players questions regarding their job. We learned that the Monarchs practice for an hour and a half a day, play approximately 65 games per season, and eat very healthy. We also learned that there are close to 1000 hockey sticks in their equipment room! The players told us that most of them went to school beyond high school (one player was from Canada--they have a different system of schooling!) and had to keep learning before becoming professional hockey players.
It was an exciting visit and we thank the Manchester Monarchs for a great afternoon!
