FCCLA members assist with child care

Babb Middle Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) members provided child care services for children of parents with students receiving English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) services at Babb Middle School.

Babb Middle FCCLA members used the school's media center Saturday, Dec. 10, so that they could "Focus on Children." Dr. Jill Morris, the school's ESOL teacher, hosted a parent/child interactive learning session for students in her classes.

To allow the parents and their students to work on the academic task, Babb FCCLA members worked with toddlers, preschool age, and elementary age children.

Some of the services provided were: teaching basic sign language, sing along with the guitar, interactive learning about healthy food choices with My Plate manipulative, story time, a fun recreational activity, and a healthy snack.
