My Project

This is our school's first year teaching financial literacy to 7th graders. This knowledge is much needed in the classroom and my students will greatly benefit from having plastic money, books, dry-erase boards, and activities to help them expand their financial literacy. We will use plastic money to help us run a classroom economy for

students to learn about making decisions with money and saving.

Students will be paid (fake) to show up to class and learn employability skills for real-life careers and occupations and jobs.
