My Students
The students I teach are between 9th and 12th grade. The students in my class have a clinical diagnosis of severe emotional disturbance. They are in a single classroom all day because they have a hard time interacting with peers and adults.
I am entering my 8th year as an ED teacher, and my students are the most inspirational students I know.
They all have hardships at home. Their lives are filled with poverty, drugs, gangs, and other difficulties. Our school is a career tech high school, and all of our students are being educated to be career and college-ready.
My students need someone on their side. In our class, we have created that space for our students. Now that they feel comfortable with us, we want to give them the same opportunities as their peers. We believe in them.
My Project
My students are an amazing group of future leaders who strive each day to reach their goals of attending college. They come from diverse backgrounds including poverty, homeless, and military families. Each day they have to face so many obstacles that no student should have to endure, yet they don't let anything stand in their way of reaching their goals. I want to help my students prepare for their financial futures by learning about money management, budgeting, taxes, and so much more. The better they are prepared now will make a huge impact in their futures. My students love to learn through games, especially board games. I am requesting various editions of Monopoly so that my students can learn about spending money, investing money and the surprises that can occur that cost money. I am also requesting various editions of the Game of Life which incorporates more real world situations that will make my students think when they are learning about money management and financial literary. All of these games will make a huge impact in how my students learn about financial literacy. Thank you for considering to support my students through this project.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
