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

I am so fortunate to be working with the most fabulous fourth graders ever!

My students will be learning about financial literacy through the use of making money to buy snacks in our classroom store.

The students will design our class money and will print them out on the paper in this project and then use the scissors to cut it into dollar bills. The students will be able to earn the money through many ways such as good behavior, team work, completion of homework , helping each other and being a kind, caring classmate. Then they will use the money to purchase items in the class store like the snacks in this project.
