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 2nd grade terrific Torchlighters fly into our school every day eager to start our day and find out what we get to explore next. I love having the opportunity to greet them at our door every day.
I have the opportunity to work with students in the Gifted and Talented program that crave challenges and new experiences.
I look forward to these materials bringing many more light bulb moments to our class and seeing their faces elated from learning. They enjoy being exposed to unique, challenging and targeted learning experiences.
My Project
The supplies in this project will make a huge impact in turning our scholars' dreams into a reality in our classroom. They are already passionate about so many different careers, and adding these financial literacy materials will prepare them for the future. Financial literacy is an essential skill for any entrepreneurs to be successful and our scholars deserve exposure to learning opportunities to grow these skills.
Students will gain an understanding of EMPATHY and how to be responsible with money.
Also, the books we are requesting will be used as an incentive for the classroom economy launch.
The money and place value stamps will give students a hands-on option for showing their thinking in a different way. Scholars can use mini-journals and markers to work through several different possibilities to solve problems or keep track of customers visiting their business.
The mini-journals will be used when students get to take their turn as the shopkeeper in our classroom store.
The cash register will be a great tool for students to use when handling transactions with their "customers". We look forward to seeing our classroom buzzing with businesses soon!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
