I teach a classroom with moderate to severe students in middle school grades 6- 8. Our classroom works on life skills our students will need when they graduate and become adults.
Everyone uses money in their everyday life, it is especially important for my students to learn about how to use money at an early age, so that by the time they are adults they will grasp the concept of money. They love to spend money when we go on our community outings and have a strong interest in money.
My students have all learned how to add nickels and pennies, now we are working on dimes. Our classroom has started a classroom store. The students are earning money to buy items in the store and are excited about the whole new project. My students can use some different techniques of learning money like games and the money chart; also some prizes for the store and a cash register for my students to learn how to run the store and give back change if needed. These items will help make our classroom store and money token systems become a great success.
Your help will ensure that my students will grasp the concept of money within my classroom, which will follow through in their community and life skill for their whole adult life.
