In partnership with the 4th grade teachers at Live Oak Elementary, we are in need of 7 volunteers to teach JA Our Region in 7 classrooms. The 12/8/17 date is flexible and a new date may be negotiated.
JA Our Region is an interdisciplinary program that introduces fourth-grade students to entrepreneurship and upper elementary grade social students learning objectives, including regions, resources, supply chains, and problem solving. The program provides students with a practical approach to starting a business while preparing them to be entrepreneurial in their thinking to meet the requirements of a demanding and ever-changing workforce.
JA Our Region is a series of five sessions with additional extended learning activities offered throughout. The average time for each session is 45 minutes. Materials are packaged in a self-contained kit that includes detailed session plans for the volunteer and materials for 32 students.
All JA programs are designed to support the skills and competencies identified by the Partnership for 21st Century Skills. JA programs also correlate to state standards in social studies, English, and mathematics, and to Common Core State Standards.
Are you ready to volunteer? We hope so! Our students are excited to have you come into their classroom!!
