Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Aloha,

This is the first year we have included a career exploration class for eighth grade students.

We plan to allow our students to experiment with art, science and technology to explore.

Our students are kinesthetic hands on learners and learn best by doing. What better ways to introduce careers and foster career exploration and entrepreneurial skills by allowing them to use their creativity to come up with business ideas.

Teaching students to be independent thinkers and open up their minds for business will open them their creative process so they can learn business and social skills.

They can have fun with hands on learning. This will challenge them to think outside the box and set their creativity free.
