My Project
I am an occupational therapist for elementary and middle school students with a disability. During our therapy sessions, I work with my students on many important daily living skills so that they can be successful throughout their lives. One of the major skills we work on is "money management" skills.
I believe that it is crucial for children to learn from a young age how to manage money correctly.
This is a skill that will benefit them for a lifetime. It is important that children learn how to manage money correctly. In middle school, students are old enough to begin to understand the value of money and making smart financial decisions, and so we spend a lot of time working on this during our occupational therapy sessions. I also believe that students learn best, when the information is presented to them in a fun and exciting way. I am requesting play money and prizes/candy so that I can create a "store" for my students and they will purchase items of their preference. They will earn the money for good work during therapy sessions. This way students can learn about money while being rewarded for their good work!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
