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

It is my goal for my students, many of which are students with diverse special needs, to develop financial literacy skills. After discussing the importance of earning, investing, and saving, our kiddos will have the opportunity to earn classroom money for things such as performing their class jobs, attending school on a daily basis, doing their homework, performing acts of kindness, and going above and beyond while meeting academic expectations. They will have access to the classroom online bank and will be given time to deposit and withdraw play money earned from their accounts. We will then establish a classroom store stocked and supplied with the requested snacks, treats, and fidget toys as well as existing school supplies, requested wall art, hooks and the outlet power strip. Every week, the students will take turns running the classroom store while their classmates shop with the money they have earned. The students will use the money saved to purchase/invest in items such as existing basic supplies and requested snacks and treats. The students will build their knowledge of financial literacy and strengthen their math skills by using online bank accounts. They will print out account information and create a journal with financial data. The plates will also be used in this area for experimenting .

It is my hope that by engaging in this financial literacy unit of study, my students will learn the importance of earning, investing, and saving money.
