Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am a fifth and sixth-grade self-contained special education teacher. I work in a low socioeconomic district. My students benefit from accommodations and opportunities that will help them excel to the best of their abilities.

My students deserve to be taught about financial literacy at this age.

This project is for creating a classroom store where students will be able to earn the play money for positive behaviors and shop from all of the prizes that were selected. The goal of this project is to create a positive reinforcement system as well as teach students social skills, how to use money, and be responsible for money. This is important because as they get older they will be using these skills on a daily basis.

The workbook will be used to teach about money.

The teacher cart will be used to store the prizes.

The play register is what we will use to simulate a transaction.

The prizes will be "bought" by the students.

The coin purses are to keep their money in.

Thank you so much for checking out our Donors Choose project!
