My Students

I love teaching fifth grade. It’s a year for students to take on more complex work, work with their peers and experience greater independence. I teach a diverse class of fifth graders from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds in a small, rural community in northern Michigan.

I am proud to be part of this small, caring school community that goes the extra mile to help all of their students.

While we are a small school, my students have BIG aspirations!

My Project

Help me give my students books that peek their interest in economic concepts and stackable stools to sit in a small group setting for Finance Book Clubs. Finacial literacy equips students with the knowlwdge and skills to manage money effectively. Just imagine, 5th graders, sitting around in small groups talking about finances.

Learning about finances is a skill that my students need and will use throughout their lifetime.

The books, The Lemonade War and Double Fudge, are fun and enjoyable for 5th graders. The books will help the students connect the economic lessons with stories about how money is produced, exchanged, market, price, earnings, savings and budgets.
