My Project

Benefits of Snacks and STEM Kits at Your School Store for Special Education Students

Introducing snacks and STEM kits at your school store can greatly benefit your classroom, especially for your special education students.

By offering these items for purchase, students have the opportunity to use class cash, promoting financial literacy skills such as understanding the value of money, saving, and responsible spending. This hands-on experience not only enhances their financial knowledge but also teaches real-world skills that can be applied beyond the classroom. Incentivizing positive learning experiences and behaviors throughout the year to earn class cash creates a motivating environment for students to strive for excellence. Additionally, the monthly setup, operation, and shopping at the school store empower students to take on responsibilities, develop social skills, and build confidence. The school store plays a significant role in your school year, opening up endless possibilities for growth and learning among your students.
