WOW, the week before Thanksgiving! If you are traveling for the holiday, PLEASE bring back soil. It makes our collection more interesting!! The week ahead, we will be working on a resume and cover letter. I will cover the topic and give plenty of examples. I have an information packet (the one that the guidance dept. uses for seniors) that needs to be filled out. In class, each student should have made a rough draft. We will be going to the computer lab on Thursday to type your resume & cover letter. The resume & cover letter will be due at the end of class on Thursday. I will review them & return them. If corrections need to be made, grades will be given AFTER corrections are made & resumes returned. Corrections are DUE ON FRIDAY NOV 21. They will not be accepted after Nov 21.
Friday we look at spices from around the world.
Have wonderfull Thanksgiving break, eat,rest & spend time people you care about.
Contact me if you have any questions, Mrs. Hutmacher/tucker.hutmacher@cobbk12.org
