My Students

My students love figuring out puzzles, being creative and reading books. They are curious and full of great questions. Their favorite activities are ones that require interaction with others and are hands-on.

Located in the beautiful state of Vermont, our school is focused on providing students with opportunities to engage in creative and collaborative experiences that are open ended and challenging.

It is our job as educators to provide pathways for students to explore, create and learn in various ways.

Our students love to learn and crave creative approaches to learning.

My Project

Beginning students on a path of financial literacy at an early age is critical. Students who understand how to save and spend money effectively at an early age have a better chance of developing and maintaining strong financial skills throughout their lives.

With these materials my students will have access to multiple financial resources from games to books that will help them to understand how to manage money in an effective and fun way.

With multiple copies of games, my students will be able to learn together and assist each other as they gain knowledge and begin the journey of Demystifying Money.
