Building Firm Foundations for Financial Literacy

Help me give my students a fun and firm foundation for financial literacy!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hiller's classroom raised $217

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students are absolutely amazing and in our Community Living class, we are learning about how to manage money after transitioning from high school to the community after graduation. These materials will help our students build a firm foundation for learning financial literacy.

I hope to help our students learn how to manage money through activities, games, and direct instruction.

Students learn best when learning while doing and they love hands on activities. Money management is a very important part of adult life.

These materials will help our students learn important financial skills.
