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

What a great time of year for our students, it is a new year and new academic goals to think of! My students are a group of eager, hard working, energetic kids with a love of learning and how the world works around them. Help me teach my students how the world works and the importance of hard work through finance.

Having my students earn and learn to save money so that they can pay for their own (fun stuff) items from our classroom store it will instill the value of money and will be better appreciated by them.

Play money and pencil boxes to store their purchased items from our classroom store along with a few yummy treats will motivate the students to continue to do their very best.
