My dream is to empower students with the life skills they need to be financially successful! Financial literacy is crucial in the development of young minds so they have an understanding of the history of money and how it works. I have selected the Grocery Store Financial Literacy Hands On Money Kit, so children can use money in real life situations, like shopping on a budget lesson. Dice, dominoes, snap cubes, and telling time are fun ways to incorporate math and financial literacy in a classroom. I want our unique learning environment to make every day, the best day to become EMPOWERED!
