My Students

The demographics at my school consist of 65% African American 30%, Latino 2%, White 11%, English Language Learners and 33% students with special needs. We are a title 1 school where all students receive free lunch and breakfast. The majority of the students come from low-economic households and/or live in homeless shelters. Most of these households are single parent.

Students are excited to be back we want them to get the most out of learning!

We could also use pencils, and dry erase markers, and crayons.

My Project

Students are excited to return to school and I am excited to show them our new classroom!

The Build a Business Financial Literacy Kit will be a great edition to our math center.These materials will help students sharpen their mental math skills and make learning addition and subtraction fun!

With this Build a Business Financial Literacy Kit, students can apply addition and subtraction strategies while engaging in real life scenarios.

These materials will also support students in using math vocabulary and visualizing word problems. Students will enjoy these fun activities!
