In my school, I never go through a day without a student's big smile and happy wave. My students come from a high poverty area where resources are stretched thin. We are a Title I school where 83% of my students receive free or reduced-priced lunch.
Often, my students struggle in school and really deserve the supplies they need to meet the standards they will be tested on.
They are all visual learners and need concrete examples to help them understand and comprehend the skills they are learning. I have taught third grade for 5 years and have been a member of ATPE for all 5. I love what I do and love ATPE.
My Project
My students love to spend money any time we have a school store, but they have trouble budgeting that money. Some students also still struggle with counting coins. With the self inking stamps, roll and solve money games, and counting money puzzles my students will be able to practice these skills. We can places these games and activities at different stations and they can rotate to work on each one. The number tiles will also be useful in our financial literacy unit to determaine greater than or less than amounts. With the books I will be able to provide literature about financial literacy concepts to my struggling readers and special education students. Having literacy options for students at all levels is very important.
