CAREER OF THE DAY:

Teacher

With the start of autumn, always comes the start of school! School is a place we all go not to just get an education but to also learn how to socialize with our peers. Teachers are often viewed as just that, a person who teaches but they do much more than just teach. They also inspire, encourage and uplift students to be the future leaders of our world. Everyone has their favorite teacher in school, right? What makes your favorite teacher the best? Do you see yourself wanting to help shape the future leaders of our world? If so, you may be interested in becoming a teacher yourself. We challenge you to talk with one of your teachers to learn about their journey into the world of education! 

Average Salary: $42,800

Education/Experience: There are different levels of teaching professionals so, the qualifications may vary. Generally, you will need at least a year of hands of experience with an associates or higher of education.

CHALLENGE OF THE DAY:

Today’s Daily Challenge is to make leaves using your painted handprint. First, you will need a piece of paper, red, orange, green, yellow, or brown paint, and a black sharpie. Paint the palm of your hand and place it on your paper. Feel free to do this more than once in order to cover the empty spaces on your paper. It is okay if they overlap. Once they have dried, lightly draw lines on your handprints to represent the venation pattern.

PARENT RESOURCES:

“Sevierville has always been a popular field trip destination. But this year, many of our popular attractions stepped up to also offer great educational experiences to students online. Whether through simple YouTube videos, Facebook lives, or educational components on their websites, these Sevierville area attractions keep learning fun.”

“During the Spring and Summer, a tree uses its leaves to transform sunlight into energy to help it grow. This process of photosynthesis is helped along by molecules of chlorophyll, which makes leaves green. But as temperatures dip in the fall, chlorophyll breaks down and other pigments, which have been hiding behind the green, are revealed—bright reds, oranges, and yellows. With rubbing alcohol and a coffee filter, you can coax these vibrant molecules out of the leaf and onto paper for your viewing pleasure; the process is called chromatography. Ready to try it?”
