Celebrating 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
We are a high school, special ed class in a 110-year-old high school that services those with low-income and Title I needs. Our class consists of incredible students with a wide range of abilities from autism to speech language impairments and cognitive delays.
Caring, enthusiastic, energetic, and curious are just a few words that describe my incredible students.
Every day is a new adventure when we enter our doors. We have quite an assortment of interests and skills and we like to see how many different ways we can incorporate them into our daily lives.
My Project
According to Halmer, a Hungarian mathematician, "A good stack of examples, as large as possible, is indispensable for a thorough understanding of any concept, and when I want to learn something new, I make it my first job to build one." Please help us build a large, high-quality stack of examples!
When it comes to financial literary skills, we find hands-on games and activities are the best way to learn.
Games and activities are a fun, non-threatening way to provide regular practice and they can be used to meet each students' learning needs. These materials would allow for that necessary practice and allow students to enjoy learning the lifetime skills they'll need.
Mastering money skills is going to be vital for these students after they graduate. These are skills these students will need to be successful in their everyday lives. With the requested set of materials, we can make games, use them as manipulatives, and build our pile of examples to help us understand.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
