Topic Eight: Workplace Safety
Task 1:
Some ways you can hurt yourself at your job is like hurting your back or you leg. Like when you hurt yourself at an day care, when you picking up a baby and you bind down the wrong way. You can hurt your legs by standing to long. For the babies we keep the door close so a baby won’t crawl out or hit there head trying to get out the door. Its also important to not come to work sick because its very easy to get a baby or child sick.
Task 2:
Eye and Face Protection
What I learned from this was that many people have eye problems or are getting blinded by work-related things. But all of this could be prevented by a face guard. Eye and face injuries costs a lot of money. Its $300 million per year in lost production time.
Task 3:
My experiences have been great. This has been one of the greatest experiences I ever had. The people I work with are good people and I learned how to work with them on a work level and not school. We work well together as a team to watch the babies. I made it one of my responsibilities to clean the toys and enjoyed it.

Topic 6:Attendance and Timeliness
Topic Six: Attendance and Timeliness
Task 3:
Discuss a variety of ways you can implement time management into your daily life.
First by waking up at the time you set your alarm, then by doing all that you need to do.
What would you do if you became overwhelmed with obligations?
You just see what you can get done with quicker.
Task 4:
This has been a great experience for me. I enjoyed every moment of it, it has taught me a lot. Today was a good day, we getting ready to move to a new build and so we packing everything up. I think this is a great thing by having a day care in the school it gives young mothers a chance to finish up.

Topic 3: Study Skills
Task 1:
Get to class on time:
I chose this one because I have a bad problem with being on time. I think I need to improve on this a lot because if I were to have a real job and I’m late all the time I would get fired and we don’t want that. My timing I know can hurt me in the long run. I plan to do better and that’s a promise.
Finishing:
I chose this one also because when it comes to the last things to do I slow up. It’s no problem with getting started and I might not understand and then I get frustrated and slow up so I in up finishing sometimes late.
Task 2:
Taking Notes in Class, list of 5 things I can do to take better notes:
Review your notes from the previous class session before you come to class. This will help you remember what was covered and get your ready to understand new information your teacher provides.
Write quickly so that you can include all the important information in your notes. Do this by writing abbreviated words such as med for medicine, using symbols such as % for percent, and writing short sentences.
Complete all assigned reading before you come to class. Your teacher will expect that you have done this and will use and build upon this information.
Rewrite your notes to make them more complete by changing abbreviated words into whole words, symbols into words, and shortened sentences into longer sentences.
Make your notes more accurate by answering any questions you had when writing your notes in class. Use your textbook and reference sources to obtain the information you need to answer your question. If necessary, ask your teacher or other.
Procrastination, least 5 things you yourself are willing to do to control excessive procrastination:
1. I often give up on a task as soon as I start to find it difficult.
2. I often find my mind wandering to things other that the task on which I am trying to work.
3. Motivate yourself to work on a task with thoughts such as "There is no time like the present," or "Nobody's perfect."
4. Work on tasks at the times you work best.
5. Get help from teachers and other students when you find a task difficult.
Task 3:
Service Learning Weekly Journal:
I think that this study skill can help me in a lot of ways. Being in there with the babies gives me a good feeling. I love being in there with them every Wednesday to see there smiles and happy faces.
