My Project

These materials will be used so the students can bid on them using our classroom economy system that has been implemented all year. They have been learning about economics in a hands on approach such as: Saving, spending, and investing which helps them understand the value of money and financial decision making.

This fosters critical thinking skills as students analyze economic situations, make decisions, and evaluate outcomes of their choices within the classroom economy framework.

This empowers students by giving them ownership and autonomy over their learning experience foster independence, responsibility, and self - confidence.

Overall, this classroom economy can significantly enhance students' understanding of economics, financial literacy ,and life skills while also promoting a positive engagement in the classroom.
