My Students

I am a National Board certified teacher in Literacy. I work at a Title I elementary school. Many of my students come from military families due to our location near several bases. Our school is diverse with learning styles, cultures, and interests. My students are hardworking, creative, critical thinkers. My students are future artists, inventors, authors, and natural leaders. Success is at their fingertips; I know that with the right learning environment, I will nurture each and every one of them.

My Project

I will build my students understanding of financial literacy with the trend of slime making. Students will first read advertisements to learn how companies persuade consumers to purchase their merchandise. Students will also look at commercials to see what techniques are used to create a buzz for their products.

Students will use what they learn from watching commercials and reading ads to design a trendy new slime.

Through the production phase students will understand the cost behind many things they buy based on the materials used. Students will work together in teams to create a pitch for their unique creation of slime.

Students will learn first hand economics and financial literacy.
