My Project
My students enjoy being creative like creating things, making things using the blender to make smoothies, shave ice maker to make shave ice, or citrus press to make lemonade with their peers, and serving others outside of our classroom by selling what they made using fake money. They would continue to improve learning about money by using fake money, how to solve math equations, and how economics work.
Giving them incentives like slimes and play-dough also helps motivate them to come to school, follow our classroom rules and routines.
They have behavior cards that they use to earn $3 per day and use that fake money to buy the incentives like slimes and playdough.
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
