Marketing and Management Class Visits Marshall Primary |
 |
 |
|
Sophomores from the Marketing Management and Finance program at Anderson I & II Career and Technology Center visited Robin Finley and Barbara Sherard’s second grade classes at Marshall Primary School in Belton on October 8, 2009. The purpose of this service learning project was to help reinforce financial literacy skills through recognizing currency, adding and subtracting amounts of money, and spending and saving choices. Career Center students created a lesson plan, activity book, and other related activities. The second graders at Marshall played money bingo, the allowance game, and learned a song about money that two CTC students wrote. Both Marshall Primary School teachers were very pleased with Career Center students and all of their hard work. The second graders took home goody bags with piggy bank safes, wallets, activity book, crayons, money pens, money bouncy balls, and money notepads. The project was funded by a grant the Career Center received from Webbcraft Family Foundation in Belton.

FIRST Team travels to New Hampshire |
|
|

Two FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics teams from CTC were among 10 teams from the eastern U.S. that traveled to FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) headquarters in Manchester, N.H., where they spent Halloween competing in the first-annual ‘Screamage.’. The ‘Screamage’ is designed to let teams such as teams 313 and 315 test their early-season robotics skills against other FTC teams on the eastern seaboard in advance of actual tournament and regional competition. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is a not-for-profit organization devoted to helping young people discover and develop a passion for science, engineering, technology, and math. Founded nearly 20 years ago by inventor Dean Kamen, the 2008-2009 FIRST season attracted over 196,000 students and over 85,000 mentors, coaches, and volunteers from 51 countries. The annual programs culminate in an international robotics competition and celebration where teams win recognition, gain self confidence, develop people and life skills, make new friends, and perhaps discover an unforeseen career path.

K-4 Class Visits Two Programs |
|
|
|
 Students in Mrs. Yarborough’s K-4 afternoon class from Palmetto Elementary School visited two program areas at the Career and Technology Center on October 9th. Students participated in several hands-on activities in Plant & Animal Wildlife Science and Esthetics. In PAWS students planted pansies in ceramic pots that they had decorated at school and fed chickens that the Career Center’s PAWS program cares for. They learned about greenhouse maintenance, the process of animal CPR, and how to properly care for chickens. The students then went on to the Esthetics program. K-4 students had their faces painted and learned safety tips for Halloween. The students in Mrs. Todd’s class put on a short skit emphasizing the importance of safety while trick-or-treating. Safety tips included: costume safety check, using the buddy system, stranger danger, candy check, crossing the street, and going to houses in neighborhood with lights on.

Clemson Ropes Course |
|
|
 Juniors from Mrs. Olver’s Health Science Technology class participated in Team Ventures Group Initiatives at Clemson University’s Outdoor Laboratory on October 19th. The course is designed to prepare groups to work together. It is a series of problem solving initiatives in which students are challenged to reach beyond what they perceive their limits to be. By working as a team, they learn how to work better with others. Results are lasting because participants learn experientially. Participants learn to listen to ideas of others, communicate ideas and feelings, and see how working as a team is the best way to be successful.
