FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hart's classroom raised $479

My Project
I teach first grade at a Title One school located in Central Florida. Ninety-eight percent of students at my school are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches. Our students come from a variety of social, behavioral, and emotional backgrounds.
I want my students to learn the importance of financial literacy through the utilization of a classroom economy system.
My students are eager to learn. This project will provide an engaging way for them to learn about financial literacy in the classroom. With this project, we will be able to set up a classroom economy system in which students earn "class cash" by completing classroom job duties, outstanding attendance (which is a huge issue at our school), following SOPs, demonstrating growth on diagnostic assessments and other demonstrated behaviors worth rewarding.
Students will be able to choose from the variety of prizes listed within this project (fidget toys, slime, chips, crackers, fruit snacks). Instead of focusing on the negative behaviors (clip down, change your card systems), I am choosing to highlight the positive behaviors in which students are praised and awarded for following the directions and being model students.
Nearly all 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
