Butler Tech Trip and Beginning Week 4

This past Thursday and Friday we traveled to Butler Tech Career Center in Butler County, OH. While we were there I was able to learn more about how Career Centers and satellite Ag programs work. It was defiantly a beneficial trip. I really enjoyed having the opportunity to go on a SAE visit with a teacher and also being able to shadow the students in their labs. John and I shadowed in the Automotive Technologies lab where students worked on numerous aspects of vehicles. It was a great experience to see how the instructor managed this lab with 25 students all working on about four separate vehicle project. We also got a new pair of safety glasses out of the experience. :) I even found them still in my purse when I went out to dinner last night!
After returning from Butler Tech I came home for the weekend which is always great. Saturday I went and watched my sisters softball games. I then went with Samantha as she got ready for her prom at Ohio Hi-Point, which is the career center she attends for cosmetology. That evening aside from working on homework and college banquet script I was able to spend some time with my dad and go to dinner. Now today I will work on homework as much as I can until I leave to come back to Columbus for a meeting this evening. Then it's back to Logan County for me for the night to teach Pork in the Classroom at Benjamin Logan High School tomorrow.

  1. Sounds like a great oppportunity, it's always tuff to figure out how to manage groups of people/ students. Haveing an example helps a lot i think.
