My students are amazing! They surprise me each and every day and keep me learning more for them. We seriously have some of the best students in our small-town elementary school.
My students are always ready to try something new/ Because of that, I want to be a better teacher everyday.
I want to grow with them!
Our school is over sixty percent free or reduced price lunch recipients, but together our community, parents and staff work to get us everything we need. I am so grateful to have wonderful people like you also partnering with us to help get our students everything they so deserve.
My Project
"Economics is everywhere, and understanding economics can help you make better decisions and lead a happier life." - Tyler Cowen.
Starting next week, we will begin learning all about the economy.
We will discuss, write and read about supply and demand, money, factories and businesses. We will also play games as we interact with money and these supplies. As a finale, we would like to hold an Economics Fair. Each of our four classrooms will hold a different business.
Our third grade community will turn into a city with a jewelry store, bowling alley, restaurant and a toy store.
Students earn coins based on tasks completed at home and at school. In our first classroom, students will take orders and make fancy cookies. The next classroom would be a bowling alley via Nintendo Wii. Students will also order popcorn to eat. The next classroom will be a toy store with a variety of items for sale. Our last classroom will create necklaces. Students will order as they enter. We will have both goods and services in all classrooms.
Think about all the learning that will go on during this experience!
Students will master financial literacy, compute math, learn social skills, make a plan for earning and spending coins, design necklaces, make art, learn how to work with food, learn note taking, take turns and the list goes on. This Econ Fair will make such a huge impact on each student. The Allowance Game and the cash register will also be wonderful for indoor recess during this muddy season.
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
