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
"We're the Bears, the B Bears, from B Elementary don't you know!" This is the first part of our school song that you hear our students proudly singing at our school assemblies. My students are excited about learning and love coming to school!
Our goal is to prepare and provide our students with STEAM education that promotes the skills, knowledge, and physical health and well-being necessary to dominate in the 21st century, compete in the global economy, and become successful, healthy citizens in their communities.
As a Title I school district, we have many challenges that come with our student population; however, we rise up to this adversity and seek out resources that will help our children succeed.
My Project
Our students are learning about many personal financial literacy topics that many adults were never taught in school. The best way for my students to become well versed in finance and be able to become productive citizens is to give them the opportunity to practice these skills.
Having access to a laptop and the Money Island program, my students will be able to learn about financial responsibility while participating in fun and exciting quests along the way.
It is vital that our students become comfortable with financial topics and skills so that they can live financially healthy lives. Technology is what they have grown up with, so this laptop and Money Island program is a win-win combination.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
