• Laser on My Finances

  Funded Sep 20, 2022

  The printer allows us to put into practice what we are learning about finances, access material and see products that students create in vivid color.

  Having a classroom printer and copier is definitively a game-changer for our classroom. We print "paychecks" in the form of "dollars" and each student looks forward to receiving their paycheck. With their money, they make purchases in the classroom store. They also have the opportunity to save for a bigger item. The

  Randomly, our store will have a Black Friday sale where things are cheaper than normal. Through all this process, my students are learning about the demands of the markets. They can analyze the market and make decisions about spending.
