Money, Money, Money

Help me give my students the cash register and other financial literacy items needed to begin their financial literacy lessons.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shelton's classroom raised $372

My Project

I love that my students are very eager to learn and they love to learn new things. They are a special bunch of children because they are Gifted/ High Achievers attending a Title 1 school. They love to learn and have a zeal for hands-on learning experiences.

The cash register, calculators, and other items will help us to dabble a bit into financial literacy, a skill that all should be taught.

I will use the play money as part of my reward system. The scholars will have the opportunity to earn and spend money on items that will be in my classroom store.

Ms. Shelton Canby Lane Elementary School Grades 3-5
