My Project

My and Mr. Fitzhugh's math classes can use a few more fans. The fans help the classrooms stay cool and comfortable for the kids and us teachers.

The candy will be used for our class store, special treats, and snack bin.

The bins will be used in our metal storage cabinet so the snacks and food stay safe in our school. Nothing should be able to disturb them. The palm pals will be placed in my class store so kids can opt to purchase them with their Fitzhugh bucks. Having good items in our store helps motivate all to do all of their work so they can earn the class Fitzhugh bucks. These are only given out for the hard work they put into their assignments. They must earn what they would like to purchase, just like in real life. Financial literacy is so very important, and this is one of those things that is learned in my math class throughout the year. They are given chances to either spend or save up and spend later.
