  • Planning for the Future

    Funded Oct 14, 2024

    Financial literacy is a great concept to teach second graders, because they are learning what money is and how to spend it. Their minds are grappling with the concept of dollars and cents, so these books will help them to count using money to buy. On the other hand, it will also teach them how to save money, so they can more money for bigger purchases.

    My students enjoy reading and always making sure they are reading with fluency. We read throughout the day with all subjects. All of the students enjoy the books, because it helps to count money better.”

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room such as: at different tables, sitting under tables with clip boards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clip board. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. Most students want to use technology to help them learn better, and with the Kindle Fire tablets and flashlights it will help them to do that.
