  • Feel Good Classroom & Convos

    Funded Oct 15, 2024

    Wow thank you so so much for donating! I feel so happy that you all value mental wellness too to contribute to the tools and resources that will support my students and their wellbeing.

    You are much appreciated, and I hope that you continue to spread the light and joy to all those in need.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Gao

  • The Intelligent Investors

    Funded Oct 10, 2023

    Thank you for the generous donation! It has been wonderful incorporating reading into our finance class. We read the personal finance book I Want More Pizza in the first semester and in this second semester, we're reading The Intelligent Investor and Rich Dad Poor Dad. As someone who didn't enjoy reading in my teen years but have found much benefit in recent years for personal and financial growth, it's fun to incorporate different strategies and activities with our reading and learning.

    As we have begun simulating investing in the stock market, learning through Benjamin Graham and Warren Buffett on how to be intelligent and value investors have been invaluable.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Gao

  • Monopoly Magic

    Funded Sep 22, 2023

    The students and I really enjoyed the Monopoly unit! Some students have never played the game at all so it was fun for them to learn. Once everyone got the hang of the regular rules, we started adding twists to each day of playing, such as tracking the cashflow or incorporating bookkeeping, playing without cash like cryptocurrency, and calculating the Return on Investment (ROI) on different property cards.

    It was fun to teach different finance topics and emphasize the importance of acquiring assets to gain passive income through playing this game. And it was really helpful to have enough boards for small groups to play together.”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Gao
