Financial Literacy

Help me give my students a great way to learn about financial literacy.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Reed's classroom raised $569

My Students

I have the ability to work with students in a diverse, multi-cultural school, where our students receive free lunch and may have economic challenges that prohibit the purchase of supplies they may need to have to learn and grow. Our school system is so amazing, and each student walks into our building daily feeling safe, entering a positive environment, and being motivated to conquer what obstacles may come their way for the day. We strive to teach our students they can accomplish anything they set their minds to regardless of what their circumstances outside of school may be.

My Project

Hello! I am posting this project to help our students understand financial literacy. I feel very strongly, that starting at a young age will only benefit our students. With this project, all donations are doubled. That means for every $1 you donate, Charles Schwabb will match. This would be an exciting theme for students to return next school-year, and have new manipulatives to help them learn about money. We would be so grateful to have your help with this project. I try and keep my activities fun, and keep the students engaged.
