Financial Literacy Fun!

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn about financial literacy through earning classroom money and using it in a classroom store. Through this, the students can learn about saving, earning, spending, and how to add money.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Putnam's classroom raised $597

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 Students

My students live in a very small town with a population of approximately 2,000 people. We are nestled in the Rocky Mountains and enjoy beautiful views and are surrounded by wildlife. We are hours away from big city life and enjoy life in a simple way.

My students love a challenge, setting goals, and learning how to work together to achieve them.

The students I work with are talented, hardworking, team players, and love learning. I work with a variety of students, including high needs, autistic students learning how to be in the general education setting, and students who are gifted in regards to academics. I have students from many socio-economic backgrounds and coming from homes with different family situations.

This range of diverse students and personalities makes our learning environment a great place to grow from one another's experiences and the students all have different experiences they bring to our classroom. My students are incredible at whatever they set their minds to and surprise me every day with how much they accomplish.

My Project

Through the items I have requested, the students in my classroom will get the opportunity to earn classroom money and spend it every week at our class store. We will earn money each day by accomplishing tasks that are expected of them as well as being rewarded for behavior. The students can then use the money they have earned and spend it each week at the classroom store. They can choose to spend their money right away on smaller prized items, or save their money and spend it on higher-priced items.

With the opportunity to earn money, save, and spend, the students in my classroom will have real-world financial literacy experiences.

This will also incorporate what we are learning in the classroom with how to add, subtract, and spend money.

I hope you find the value in what I am trying to accomplish in my classroom, along with the fun and incentives that will motivate my students to complete tasks and be helpful classroom participants.
