Funded Oct 5, 2018Thank you so much for your contribution to the financial literacy of my first graders. Your gift of a laminating machine has become invaluable to our classroom. Our school is comprised of mostly lower income students, so resources are limited. Being able to laminate many of our materials allows for us to be able to reuse the resources over and over again.
During our financial literacy project, my first graders learned how to count and use money while participating in a mock bank and shopping experience. Each student participated in several activities that required skills they will use in the real world. For example, they were given examples of sales papers and were given tasks to count how much money they needed to purchase the things on the shopping list.
I teach a variety of learners. This laminating machine allows me to be able to create visual and tactile activities for all learners to be able to use for many years to come. Please know that your contribution is being used to its fullest potential.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Smith
