We all know that it is important to learn our alphabet and vocabulary words, right? I thought it would be a good idea to learn some college vocabulary!! This is how it is gonna go... I will share with you a college vocabulary word, and maybe even a college for every letter in the alphabet. Yep every letter, all 26 of them!
"A" is the first letter in the alphabet, so our FIRST college vocabulary word will be:
ADMISSIONS! It just so happens that one of the FIRST things that you need to do when you are getting ready to go to college is go to Admissions. Admissions is where you go to get your college
APPLICATION (sorry I snuck in another one). When you find a college that you think will be a good fit you must fill out an application where they will ask for your grades, as well as extra-curricular activities, including sports and community service. Most college applications are completed online.
"A" is for Angelina College (AC), which is right down the road in Lufkin.
Yep you guessed it, I am going back on the road to visit Angelina College http://www.angelina.edu/. Angelina is a local community college that has all sorts of certification programs and associate degrees. In fact I heard on the news this morning that there is a great need in East Texas (That is us) there is a great need for skilled and certified workers, can you believe there is a shortage?? (that means not very many) I bet I can learn all about this at AC.
So off I go to visit the home of the Roadrunner...
Don't forget what Duke likes to say
"After High School Comes
College!"
Headed on the road!!

Hi Duke!
ReplyDeleteThis is Mrs. Morris' First Grade Class at Nettie Marshall Academy of Dual Language. We would like to say, "Thank You for sharing your trips to college with us."
We would like to suggest for you to visit a university that goes by the same name as "YOU". We have adopted Duke University in North Carolina, the home of the Blue Devils! We would love for you to experience a great college!
Sincerely
