Financial Literacy: Firstie Style!

Help me give my students a learning opportunity in financial literacy. It is my hope to provide a real life example of how the exchange of money really works. They will learn to spend, save, earn, and donate!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

My students are early learners for many this is their first time in school. The world is so new and magical in their eyes. I love to provide a safe, welcoming, and positive learning environment because they deserve it!

These materials will help my students understand the very abstract concept of financial literacy.

For first graders, there is very limited experience in earning, spending, saving, and donating. The tickets will be earned and saved in the pockets throughout the week. They will be invited to spend their tickets in our "sticker store" every Friday. They may choose to continue to save or even donate tickets to another student. They will keep track of their saving, spending, donating, and earning on their notebooks that will also be kept in their pockets.
