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
I work at a Title I school in a low socioeconomic area, and 100% of our students receive free breakfast and lunch. For some of our kids, these are the only two meals they have in a day.
Although some of my kids face many challenges, they are always eager to learn.
We have some military families in our school as well. Our school is located in a border city, and a few of my students moved here from Mexico and are English language learners. I'm always looking for innovative ways to teach my kids and encourage them to love school and learning.
My Project
I often edit resources or handouts I find online and on books.
That is why I like to design my own resources for handouts and centers.
Especially since I have to translate a lot of things to Spanish for our Dual language kids. I am requesting this clip art to help me create resources to teach them about financial literacy, financial vocabulary and how to count coins. I included clip art such as coin faces or clipart of kids that are counting money. I plan to create cards of item pictures with different values for the kids to estimate the price or select the coins needed to pay the price for that item.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
