What will be done with my students

As a Lighthouse School, we give students the opportunity to meet with a club to work on something they are passionate about. Each year, I try and think of unique opportunities to learn about a life skill or trade that they can consider as a future career. We started this club last year and as word spread it became very popular. At the end of the semester each student in the club went home with a fishing rod that they built. The picture attached is a student who was in the club last semester with two awesome catches and his custom built rod.  

 

Benefits to my students

Living on Marco Island, this is a recreational activity more students should have the opportunity to participate in. Students will learn life skills of using a cast net to catch bait, fishing with the rod they built, and how to research the rules and laws of fishing in the state of Florida.
