You have helped my 98% hispanic and recent immigrant students with reading material that will give them practice reading in English, as well as addressing the inequity they face with a lack of financial awareness in the Hispanic community.\r\n\r\nThis book will be given to students at year-end as a gift for summer reading, or re-reading. I am reading parts of it in class to them, as the chapters related to the units we are learning in class.\r\n\r\nThe book is very good for teenagers because it is in the form of stories, instead of textbook or purely how-to material. It gives background and situations that the author faced herself and how she dealt with the problems she talks about. She is from here (Miami) so it especially resonates.","fullyFundedDate":1755522417854,"projectUrl":"project/financial-awareness-in-the-hispanic-comm/9333302/","projectTitle":"Financial Awareness in the Hispanic Community: Book (class Copies)","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Silver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7572180_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632600572547","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-v-silver"},{"teacherId":7572180,"projectId":9052156,"letterContent":"The tech accessory items and workbooks have been great for my International Baccalaureate Financial Literacy 10th grade students because they allow for creating and presenting lessons with both tech (for the information part) and all kinds of activities (for the practice part).

They can view it on their own and complete the activities at home.\r\n\r\nStudents like a variety of activities because their attention span for new information is limited to 30 minutes, so I provide practice activities from the workbooks for the remainder of class, which they complete individually or in small groups.\r\n\r\nAll the best,","fullyFundedDate":1746506373157,"projectUrl":"project/personal-finance-classroom-items/9052156/","projectTitle":"Personal Finance Classroom Items","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Silver","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7572180_orig.jpg?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1632600572547","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/ms-v-silver"},{"teacherId":7572180,"projectId":9218161,"letterContent":"The art supplies have been great for my middle and high school Art Business club students because they allow for creating art products from images of student paintings.
