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 strive to make learning fun and exciting for my students. I decided to create a system where our students can learn financial literacy skills while earning money to purchase things they love.

Our classroom store will be full of their favorite items such as pens, tumblr cups (not Stanley's), pencils, and erasers.

Each week students apply for a classroom job to earn a weekly salary. They complete 3 job applications and we hire our students based on the behavior displayed that week, plus their reasoning as to why they would be the best person for the job. They have the opportunity to earn bonuses as well. Bills and fines are also a factor in our classroom system to teach them about spending, saving, and balancing their money.

Help us in creating a fun behavior management system that incorporates financial literacy and fosters their love of visual art, reading, and writing.
