Junior Achievement By: Sofia O. & Ana G. 5th grade students


                                                             

 

Junior Achievement is an important activity for kids when volunteers teach children about jobs, careers and the skills you would need to be successful in the real world. Volunteers come for a JA in a Day  to teach 5th grade and the rest of the grades about resources (capital, natural and human). The volunteers also teach kids about STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). We played many fun games and worksheets to help improve our skills. One game was each person had a card and we held a string every time we read our card. After we created a problem and almost everyone dropped their string(s). This helped us understand how each country relies on one other and if one thing goes wrong it effects everything else. This was just one of the many fun activities we participated in. We had a great day doing Junior Achievement.
