Penderlea sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students completed another piece of their state career development plan this week by exploring careers through simulated activities and informational videos in Major Clarity. Sixth graders explored careers in science and social studies while seventh grade explored arts and career and technical education careers. Students then logged their opinions about each career and what they learned in a high school Google Classroom. Eighth graders explored the career of their choice in Major Clarity then started their "career tracker" in the high school Google Classroom. They will add information to careers that interest them as they go through the CDP process in high school. Ask them to show you their plan!

PCS CTE Job Shadow Day - Tyler's mom shared that Tyler (Penderlea) helped load and unload truck tires, made deliveries to multiple customers (companies) and enjoyed learning how the boom truck operates while changing tires on logging equipment. Also, he enjoyed napping on the way home after his dad put him to work all day!!🤷🏼‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣
