My Project

My students earn classroom cash for hard work, perseverance, collaboration, and teamwork. The classroom cash helps them practice addition, subtraction, and multiplication skills. As well as, skills that involve saving and spending!

These absolutely awesome STEM kits will be a part of our classroom auction.

When students see these kits, their excitement will grow and they will be more motivated to practice the mathematical skills involved with earning classroom cash! The alternative seating added to this project is a part of the saving and spending skill practice. Students pay with classroom cash that they earn to rent alternative seating in the classroom.
