Help me give my students access to tangible class materials to take home for practice! I believe in encouraging them through enforcements and reward them with snacks to support their rapid growth and appetites!

Celebrating 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 Students
My scholars are all a beautiful group of bright students. They are all eager to learn and apply themselves so well. They enjoy the critical thinking aspect of my classroom environment and love engaging in conversation with myself and their peers about sensitive topics, and topics relevant to navigating this very interesting world that we live in.
My Project
A very essential part of social studies is being able to comprehend the features of maps. Developing map skills is very helpful to navigating the world as my scholars change it!
I incorporate personal finance into the economics unit of the course.
We set up an imaginary bank, each scholar gets their own accounts, and they receive "scholar dollars" for different rewardable actions in the class. I provide them with opportunities to shop at the "market" to buy snacks, supplies, and materials. With this transaction, I have them learn how to read invoices and receipts for them to keep up with their records when tax time comes.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
