My Students

My students are Freshman through Seniors in High School that are getting ready to head out in the the real world. They are curious and anxious learners that are looking for new and fun ways to engage in their classroom.

My Project

In my financial literacy class I teach my students valuable lessons that they will be able to apply for the rest of their lives. My students learn about Spending, Saving, Credit, Renting their First Apartment, Buying a Car, Paying for College and the Importance of Helping Others.

Having a classroom set of The Richest Man in Babylon would allow us to all be reading the same book at the same time to tie the lessons in the book to the material that we are studying in class.

Currently, I only have a couple of copies in my classroom so we cannot all be reading it.
