My Students

Our school strives to find the leader in all students. Every child has capabilities, talents, and strengths; sometimes, all it takes is exposure or motivation.

The students in my class all work very hard no matter what their disabilities are.

The world and curriculum are ever-changing and becoming more technical savvy, so in order to keep up with the changing world, my class needs to add a few more technology outlets to our classroom. My class consists of 10 diverse and amazing students. The students in my classroom are such an exciting group of mixed interests, abilities, and goals. Some of my students are learning to read, write, and count, while some of their classmates are learning to imitate sounds or hold a paintbrush. Our group loves to play outside, learn new games, and continue to work on our daily living skills.

My Project

The novels chosen for this project will inspire my students to learn about economic concepts and entrepreneurship through play while exploring inventions. They will learn from the student characters in the novels how to become a good entrepreneur and consumers as well.

This project will encourage students to task risks, explore ideas and inventions, and learn from your personal mistakes to make your personal finance better.

The subject matter of these books selected for this project will allow me as the teacher to incorporate more hands on learning experiences for my diverse learners in both my classroom and virtually. And last the students will be able to understand and learn new kid-friendly economic terms that they can expand their knowledge on later in life.
