This week Grade 2 was lucky enough to have not one but four parents come into the classroom and share about their different jobs. Each visit gave the class the opportunity to learn about their roles and responsibilities. Most importantly, the class had the chance to inquire into the positives, challenges and perks of each job. They no doubt now have some very inspiring role models!
Mrs. Hyafil shared with us about her job as a French Language Teacher. She even prepared a short lesson and Grade 2 experienced what is like to be in one of her lessons. We learned some basic greetings and played a fun game to learn the names of different animals.

As an Asset Manager and Banker, Mr. Gregorio taught us about the different jobs in a bank and the general concepts behind buying and selling stocks. Grade 2 also had the chance to apply for a loan or make a deposit during a role play activity. He even gave the class some gold (chocolate) - a very sound investment.

Mr. Eykerman explained to Grade 2 about his responsibilities as Sales Director of a company that makes engines for very big ships - even bigger than our school! He showed us a video and answered with accuracy an unbelievable amount of questions about the height, weight, and dimensions of his product.

Lastly, Mrs. Dettingmeijer came in to talk to us about her job as CFO of an international company that produces aluminum. She ran her visit like a real meeting and Grade 2 was very keen to follow along. Overall the visit was very informative and I’m sure each student experienced what is like to be a true business person.
