My Students

My classroom is a wonderful place filled with hard working students and staff. Every day, I fall just a little bit more in love with their amazing hearts and smiles. Each child has an individual education plan to help them make progress on goals in functional academics, behavior, life skills, communication, and/or functional life skills.

My students are full of curiosity, energy, and incredible potential.

We focus on the positive, and celebrate every success that they achieve. Each day I do my best to make sure that they have the necessary tools to succeed, but it takes a lot of equipment and materials to help meet their unique needs.

With the help of DonorsChoose.org, I am able to provide unique and engaging materials to help my students, who experience a variety of disabilities, overcome their challenges and let their abilities shine through.

My Project

As a middle school special education teacher I am always thinking about what skills my students need in order to be as independent and productive as possible when they grow up.

Consumer math skills are at the top of my list of skills that my students need in order to be financially literate and not get cheated when they make purchases.

The materials in this project will allow me to create fun, engaging math games that will build skills such as counting money, purchasing items and using a calculator to determine the change they will receive.

I'll use the TeachersPayTeachers gift card to purchase money games that I'll print using the printer ink and laminate for long time use. We'll have "Fun Friday" games using the Hot Dots set, bingo cards and other games which will reinforce skills we've learned during the week. Finally the books will be read as a whole group activity then put into our math book bins so that students have access to them at any time.

Thank you for considering my financial literacy project. I can't wait to bring these fun resources to my very deserving students.
