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 Students

I work with an amazing and energetic group of sixth graders. They are interested in learning in a wide variety of subjects. My focus is on English, history, and providing a positive and colorful learning environment for all.

My students are dedicated to their learning, and we are always looking for ways to create a more conducive and friendly environment.

The students love expressing themselves creatively and bringing color into the world. The supplies we have requested will help enhance our classroom and learning experience!

My Project

Providing these games for my class will help supplement our financial literacy curriculum with real-world situations and games. Students will gain opportunities to use what they have learned in a safe environment through the use of these games.

My students will learn through experience how best to handle difficult financial situations that can occur in real life.

With these learning experiences, students will end up with a much wider base of knowledge of personal finance and financial literacy. Plus, they get to have fun with each other as well!
