Celebrating 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
My class is made up of diligent, inspiring, and creative fourth graders with big hearts and analytical minds. They attend school every day with purpose and a desire to learn something new, to discuss what they think, and take pride in their efforts. My students learn in a bilingual community with a high level of family support. They attend our school with growing technology opportunities that enhance their approach, application, and articulation of their knowledge and their new learning. We balance this with creativity and physical opportunities with that support the development of persistence, teamwork, and determination.
My Project
It is important to learn financial literacy at an early age. Exploring concepts in financial responsibilities helps individuals begin to understand the value of money. I am requesting various games and math resources with the common theme of finances. Some of the games I am requesting include Monopoly Junior, Payday, Exact Change, Net Worth, Math War, Money-wise Kids, Buy It Right Shopping, and Money Bags. These games will be played in our Math Lab as part of our mathematics application rotation.
The skills learned in exploring how to manage one's money will help students discover the relationships between earning, saving, and spending.
My project will support students in thinking about financial literacy through life scenarios. The games requested will support students in learning about earning a personal income, running a business for profit, making donations, situations of financial loss, paying taxes, shopping choices, investing, making significant financial decisions, and so on.
The materials requested will support students in understanding the value of their potential success with managing their own income and start thinking about life decisions that involve their economic responsibilities.
