Help Us Learn Financial Literacy!
Funded Sep 17, 2023Thank you for your generous donations! We have received the materials to assist with learning about financial literacy and the students are so excited when we use them. In fact, "money math" has become one of their favorite lessons, and they frequently ask for it.
The large magnetic money pieces provide excellent visual supports for the students as they are learning names and monetary values. Students also love to use their individual money packs to create money on their own.
The financial literacy support materials are working to help students learn about money, and will continue to support many more students as years come. As a teacher, it is rewarding to see my lessons come to life with the students, and to be able to create opportunities for their "a-ha!" and connection moments.”
With gratitude,

Funded Jan 4, 2023Thank you so much for helping to provide a calming area in my classroom. My students have exceptional needs, and at times struggle to regulate their bodies or minds. It is also a comfortable place that they can sit, rest, and use a sensory toy during their free time. Due to this, they have all associated the calming area as a positive place to be and frequently ask to use it.
When I opened the materials and started to set up the area, the students were very curious about what I was doing because I was changing part of the structure of the room. The students were very eager to try it out and test all the materials!
The next step for my class is to include more social-emotional lessons. They have learned social skills lessons throughout the year, but also need to work on identifying their own feelings and needs when they are frustrated, and develop strategies to maintain on their own.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Taylor
