Financial Literacy For Second Graders!

Help me give my students coins, dice, and clocks to improve their financial literacy!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lui's classroom raised $280

This project is fully funded

My Students

My second graders are voracious readers! They love to read both fiction and non-fiction books. Their favorite characters include Pete the Cat, Fly Guy, Piggie and Elephant, and Mercy Watson. They also love to read about insects, space, and plants. My students are hungry bookworms! They are eager to learn and read about the world around them.

My students love to be at school and are like little sponges absorbing everything around them.

Their parents work long hours and usually do not see their children. The children are usually cared for by their grandparents or a family friend. Most of them do not have someone who speaks English at home. Thus, it is difficult for students to acquire language.

Due to financial hardships, my students do not have the opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities during the school year or summer.

My Project

My second graders need math materials to practice financial literacy at home with their family. My students are beginning to grasp early math concepts such as money, counting, addition, subtraction, telling time, and number comparison. These are the basic skills they need to master in order to expand their knowledge in financial literacy.

The materials in this project will enhance my students’ math skills through highly engaging and interactive math activities at home.

The coins and dice will allow students to play Collect 25 and 50 cents, Collect and Spend $1.00 to learn how to add and subtract money. Also with practice, students will learn to recognize coins and their value. The counters will be used to play Plus 1 or 2 and Plus 9 or 10 bingo games so students will be more fluent in addition. Since students do not have clocks at home, the clocks will help children to learn to tell time to the minute. Each student will get a baggie of coins and counters to practice at home.

While learning these math concepts, I will be able to teach my students about saving and spending, how money is used to make purchases, and fact fluency in addition and subtraction.

Thank you for your help and contribution to ensure my students a bright financial future!
