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 second grade, we are learning all about money. These items will help put coins and bills into the hands of my students so that they will learn what the money looks like, feels like, and learn its value. Having these materials will help to teach financial literacy. I hope to teach my students about value. I want them to understanding that everything costs money and we need to know how much each coin and bill is worth.

Coins and bills will give my students hands-on experience with money.

Books and puzzles with addition money problems will teach them how to add and subtract up to 100. Books about money and entrepreneurship will help them to learn and grow. In addition, the workbooks with money problems will teach them valuable money skills.

Thank you for helping me to get "money" into the hands of my students. Hands-on experiences help children to retain the information. The puzzles and books make learning about math even more fun.
