Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

In my classroom, I use a token economy system to help my students learn about financial literacy. They are paid a salary for their performance each week. Then on Fridays, the special time comes! We open our class store for the students to spend their earnings if desired.

Our class store is stocked with various items that the students want, but also items they need.

Each week, they have the make the decision if they want to fill their needs or wants first. Usually, by Christmas, my students have a very good understanding of fulfilling their needs before wants, which is helping to create a better understanding of the real world around them. In our morning meetings, we discuss financial literacy throughout the year, helping the students understand the idea of paying bills before paying themselves. We also discuss the prices of goods. Inflation hit our store hard last year, but sometimes we even have sales!

We are in need of some of the hot "want" items to stock our store. We need colored pencils because most students prefer them over crayons. We discuss how crayons are cheaper and do the same job, thus making colored pencils a want. We also need water bottle stickers, because kids love decorating their devices and water bottles. In addition, we need yummy snack items. These are usually hard to say no to, thus making our needs and wants lessons even more meaningful. Please consider helping us out!
