Help me give my students play-doh, spy pens, bracelets, candy, squishies, slime, and Minecraft figures to continue our classroom economy where they are learning the attributes of coins, making change, and the importance of saving.
My classroom consists of between 15 and 25 students between kindergarten and 5th grade. My students have a variety of intellectual and developmental delays, cognitive disabilities, speech, hearing and visual impairments, behavioral deficits, social and emotional issues, and varying levels of anxiety and sensory issues. Most of my students have dyslexia, learning disabilities, autism, or ADHD.
My students work very hard and require many modifications and accommodations to allow them to be successful at school.
They need extra time, many opportunities for re-teaching and for material to be presented in a variety of ways to allow them to process and retain the information. They have to put in extra effort, but it is amazing to watch them make growth in their learning. My classroom provides an environment that allows all children of all abilities to learn and grow.
My Project
We are working on financial literacy! Each week we are working on adding to our coin collections, changing coins for other coins, and making decisions on how much we should spend, save, and share.
Each student has a personal bank.
Each day they earn coins for good behavior, working hard, and helping others. On Friday, we add up our coins and trade them for other coins and dollars. Then they decide what they are going to spend in our class store, what they want to save for, and how much they should put aside to share.
I purchased the materials needed to get the project started but I need more items to continue the rest of the year. I need a wide range of items that motivates them to save. I also do not have enough coins to give each student the amount of coins they should be earning. (They don’t like my IOU’s). Please help me get the items I need to sustain this amazing project for them!
