Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

I have a very diverse group of students. Some are students that have great opportunities, others need to have the opportunities given to them. That is where I step in!

Being a science teacher to over one hundred students, I need to keep my students engaged and able to show what they are learning.

My struggling students and English learners, as well as native English speakers, are often excited and ready to engage in scientific discussion through investigations that involve inquiry and research. These types of activities help engage every student in the classroom and provide a way for them to explore their thoughts by building on ideas from others.

My students are curious and ready to explore the scientific world through hands-on activities and technology that enhances their research. The use of technology will diminish their language barriers and better prepare them to engage in classroom discussions.

My Project

I would like to try something new this year by creating a classroom economy system that students will use throughout the school year. Motivating students to learn new concepts can be difficult at times. I am constantly answering the question, "When will I ever use this concept in the real world?"

I want to take it to take the classroom to real world connection to the next level and have students learn about how the habits they have can translate to the money they can earn.

The game life will be used at the beginning of the year to relate various concepts that relate to financial literacy. The spinner will be assigned point values and used to give students choice in the activities they choose. The document scanner will be used for scanning the student's bank summaries which generated from our online banking website. The expo markers will be used for to write on the GIANT check once they have earned their money for the project. Students will then be able to purchase rewards with the money they have earned. Thank you in advance for donating to our project.
