My Project
My students love talking about money. Creating a "money center" lounge area in my classroom offers numerous benefits for teaching students about investing in stocks and all things money. This relaxed, comfortable environment encourages collaboration and open discussions, making financial education more approachable and less intimidating. The lounge with chairs and books on investing, also fosters teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving, as students analyze market trends and make decisions in a simulated stock market environment. Ultimately, this space prepares students for real-life financial decisions, empowering them to become more informed and confident investors.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
