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

This project will go hand in hand when we complete our ELA unit called Spending Time and Money. Our essential question for the unit is What do our economic choices tell us about ourselves? Early-adulthood financial decisions can have lifelong consequences. Equipping young people with the tools to manage their money effectively will help our students manage money effectively so that they can become financially sta­ble, build assets, and achieve their personal goals. Through the use of games, activities, and stories our students will be able to answer that essential question while being on the road to making the best financial choices possible.
