1st Grade Junior Achievement

Darin once again did Junior Achievement for Amberly's class. I think it is a highlight for both of them! Amberly just loves having her Daddy come and be a part of her class and I know he enjoys his time with her there too! Junior Achievement is such a wonderful parent led program. For 5 weeks straight he was able to go into her class and teach a lesson about Communities/families/working/money/saving, Etc. I get to go with him on the last day to "help out". It's always fun to see him interacting with the children and watch how they just love him!
We're very happy that Chevron is a strong sponsor of this program and allow their employees to take time off of work to go into the schools to do this. Chevron is big on volunteering.

The following picture was actually really cute. Their activity was a charades game. Each child got to up and choose a job and "pretend" they were doing that job and the other children had to guess what it was. The favorite job was Teacher. Here Darin is demonstrating to the children the activity and had them guess what job he was doing. Notice the glasses on the nose and I think he put on the board 1+1=3. They got a big kick out of him and he quickly was apologizing to the teacher saying that in no way was he describing her! They all had fun taking a turn with it!
