Health and Career

Goals

Aiden has made some fitness goals for the summer.  He put together his own workout program and has been trying to complete it several days each week.

Aiden has made a goal of how he will save money over the next year and how he will spend the money that he saves.  He is looking to begin doing extra chores for money.  He recently earned money helping out a garage sale and has been hired to help out again.  In helping out he made all the change for the garage sale and helped move tables/items as necessary.  Aiden worked 7 hours each time.
 After several months, Aiden has nearly saved enough money for a new BMX bike.  He has spent hours researching different models and their reviews so he can make a good decision about which bike to buy.  Aiden visited a couple of bike stores and spoke with the workers to determine if his decision was a good one.
*Aiden earned enough money to purchase his bike and a helmet!




















Aiden worked at a lemonade stand on two separate occasions.

Aiden watered gardens and took care of chickens.  He did it to be of service to neighbours and ended up earning $20.

Creating a brochure about healthy lifestyle.  Includes facts about fitness, nutrition, etc.

There was a lengthy discussion about the internet.  We discussed internet safety, risk of chatting with unknown people, cyber bullying, Facebook and creating discontentment with life, texting, video games, boundaries.  It was a really good time of sharing and learning about how to stay safe and make responsible choices.  Hoping to expand on this e.g.. journey entry, pamphlet, etc.
