My Students

My students come in every day roaring and ready to go! Our day always begins with several hugs and exciting news that they have to share with me. To be surrounded by children who love you despite your flaws, can't wait to see you every day, and think you hung the moon is the greatest gift in the world!

The majority of my students come from high poverty homes, and many don't have Internet access at home.

It is not uncommon for students to come to second grade on a first-grade level. Because of this, it seems that we are playing catch up for most of the year.

Luckily, I teach in a wonderful school where teachers are willing to share resources and do whatever it takes to help students achieve success. Although many of my students are facing various challenges including broken homes, being raised by grandparents, and high poverty, they are very motivated learners.

My Project

I would like to teach my students about financial literacy during our economics unit. Every year, second-grade students learn about producers and consumers, as well as buying and trading. The books I have requested will be a wonderful resource to read to my students about financial literacy and branch into the importance of saving money. At the conclusion of our economics study, I would like for my students to participate in a class store.

For two weeks, my students will be able to earn classroom bucks for completing homework and being kind, responsible citizens.

They will then be able to use those classroom bucks to purchase items from the class store. Items such as suckers, pixie sticks, and bubble gum are sure to be popular choices with eight-year-old children. If you help fund my project, my students are sure to have a fun time learning about the importance of finances!
