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 Students

Career explorations is a rigorous coarse where my students learn about different career paths that lead into our high school's CTE programs.

My students are are driven to be the best students on campus!

Learning interviewing techniques, resume writing and different career clusters sets them aside from other students, my kids are career ready!

My Project

This project is one that will keep giving. The staples of my curriculum involve student creativity and project based learning.

I am teaching my students skills that pay the bills!

In the next few months we will be exploring family consumer science. The pillars of the curriculum rely on organization techniques, interior design, hospitality and tourism, event planning, teaching and training, and culinary arts.

This Cricut will serve the students to help with projects that I facilitate in class. Some project involve creating t-shirts for the class, home organization techniques and creating labels with the Cricut, and creating table cards and center pieces with the Cricut. This will help execute the most professional looking products to add to my students resumes.
