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
My 3rd graders are inquisitive, caring, hardworking students. My class is in a high-need, low-income public school, nestled in the heart of Southern California. The administrators, teachers, and parents collaboratively work toward developing each student into a future productive and successful citizen. Our school is a Science, Technology, Math Magnet and is committed to STEM education as well as character development.
I hope to instill in them hands-on lessons that will last a lifetime.
You can help facilitate that! Your donation will give my students the tools they need to learn these valuable lessons that will stick with them as they grow. My students enthusiastically come to school inquisitive and excited to learn.
I encourage each child in my class to do their best in all they do, even when school is a challenge for them. I do my best to ensure that every student has a place to feel like they can try new things and explore both academically and socially.
My Project
In my classroom, I strive to provide hands-on opportunities to learn. With the cash register and requested "wallets" (in the form of pencil pouches), the students will be able to learn about our economic system by actually participating in it. With a system of classroom money, debits and credits, jobs and payroll, fines and fees, the students will learn how to budget, earn and spend money in a classroom setting. Using coins and paper money that look like the real thing will help the students to transfer these classroom lessons into a real life setting.
With the pencil pouch wallets, as well as the cash register, I hope to teach my students the basic principles that guide our every day life.
These materials will help teach financial responsibility.
More than half of students from low‑income households
