B.F. GRADY ELEMENTARY 8th grade
Career and Technical Education The Career and Technical Education Department gives students various opportunities to experience real-world and hands-on learning. This was certainly the case for a group of 8th grade students who took on a school-wide project under the leadership of Mr. Daniel Maldonado. The project consisted of two classes who were challenged to create different designs for a new school hoodie. A winning design was to be selected for students and staff to purchase. Ultimately, both designs were used to give buyers an option. The purpose of the project was to give students the opportunity to work as a team. Students had to learn how to work together despite the challenges they may have faced working in a group setting. Mr. Maldonado wanted the students to experience creating, marketing and selling a product from start to finish. It also allowed the students to raise money so they could take a field trip. “We feel like it was a very good experience for all the 8th graders who were in CTE because we got to do a handson full group project. We have never been able to do a large hands-on project. We had full control and the teacher was just there to monitor.” - 8th grade studentsAlondra Montes & Angelee Morales.

Spending time with friends and learning new things are what I like about school. My two favorite subjects are Science and Social Studies. I enjoy learning everything about the subject of Science and I like learning about the past and how we can learn from the mistakes that happened then. My homeroom teacher, Mr. Houston, makes our school special. His class is fun and he is very helpful. In the future, I would like to become a Fashion Stylist. I really enjoy learning about new styles and putting outfits together. I hope to attend James Sprunt Community College. My mom is my role model! She has experienced some hard things in her life, but she has kept on going and never gave up.

I like reading and learning about Science. I also like learning about Social Studies. Richard, my friend who moved, made my school special. My teachers and friends also make my school special. I have not thought about which college to go to yet; however, I would like to become a Paleontologist. A paleontologist would be a good future profession for me because I like learning about the past and about dinosaurs. I like to help people pick out books from the library and I think a librarian would also be a good future profession for me. I like to learn new stuff every day and I love going to school because it is fun. Being rewarded for reading my AR books is something I really like. My role model is my dad because he works very hard. He works to get the things we need and he is very brave.
