My Students

My fourth graders are eager to learn and love innovative ways to learn difficult skills. Most students in my classroom come from low-income families so they may not have the opportunity to use a lot of technology at home. Working in a Title I school brings a lot of challenges, but these students do not let those challenges come in the way of their learning.

My classroom is very diverse with the majority being Hispanic.

All of my students know the importance of learning and education. They come to school every day eager and ready to learn. It is my job to keep them up to par on new, innovative ways to learn skills so that they can be successful.

My Project

This project helps to provide my students the materials they need to be organized for our classroom economy. Each one of my students has a job, they earn money and pay rent every month. They receive classroom money to pay their rent and earn prices. We need folders, pouches, post-its and highlighters to create a folders for every student. This will keep all their materials together so they can keep track of their monthly expenses and income. Some of the other supplies will them as they work hard each and every day to show excellent positive behavior and character. They are loving our classroom economy. Please support our efforts to teach them all the skills that comes along with a classroom economy.
