Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My Fourth graders will create a budget for dye/run packets (sunglasses, bags, invitations and race numbers), determine supplies needed for attendance and calculate measurement of run course. Each student will create a spreadsheet using Google docs to document all expenses. Students will complete the race set-up. My fourth graders will have a real world application of their financial literacy and computer literacy skills.

My students will finalize their unit on financial literacy by hosting a Color Run for their fellow schoolmates.

The run will be given as a reward to students who have been exemplary members of our school's community. Students will be chosen based on helpfulness and teamwork. Scholars who receive an invitation to color run will be chosen by our Fourth Grade student panel.

Ms. Cola Roosevelt Elementary School Grades 3-5
