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 Students

I am a 3rd-grade teacher in South Bronx, NY. For the past year and a half, our country and school communities have been hit and hurt by many unexpected changes that forever altered our lifestyles, routines, and understanding of normalcy. Despite our best intentions and efforts to support our students, we continue to face challenges resulting from deepened learning gaps, limited socialization, and budget.

I love my students for their positive affirmations toward academic obstacles and taxing home circumstances; 95% of my students receive free lunch, and nearly 1/3 of them live in the NYC shelter system.

I'm here to ask for your support to help implement financial literacy. Your support will equip disadvantaged students of color with the knowledge and skills to decrease financial stress, improve academic performance, prevent future dropouts, and teach them how to manage their finances for a lifetime.

My Project

To launch our financial literacy project and incorporate it into our existing school wide economic system (Yes, we even have our own school currency), we are going to transform one of our classroom doors into a chalkboard that students can record their weekly financial goals and build accountability by reviewing and tracking them every Thursday. The smart plugs and Echo dot will streamline our classroom's smart hub where students research topics on financial freedom such as how to commit to living within our means, knowing our current financial situation, tracking spending, trimming budget and creating possible debt payoff plan. The smart hub will also become a work station where students can create art to be printed on t-shirts to fundraise and generate revenue to support other disadvantaged students and our school community. The lights, power banks and vinyl Gym tapes will be used to highlight aspects of our financial literacy project during open school day.
