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 teach at a high poverty school where several of the students receive free or reduced price lunches, and 100% receive free breakfast.

Even though my second grade students have many obstacles that make learning more difficult, I always have high expectations that they will grow and learn.

School is a safe and happy place for my students. Each day they come into the classroom excited about the day and spending time exploring and learning together! For many of my students, being at school is the best part of their day.

My Project

Teaching students about financial literacy is important at any age. Teaching them the ability to use their knowledge and skills to make effective and informed money management decisions is essential to be successful.

The Osmo Pizza Co.

Kits will teach my students about managing money and running a business. They will learn real-world math, money skills, and social skills, in this fun hands-on game. My students will experience what it is like to run a small pizza business. They will also be able to collaborate with other students in making financial decisions.

The Osmo Pizza game will help to develop my students' creativity and problem-solving skills through hands-on play. They will have endless opportunities to run their own pizza shop with Osmo Pizza Co. Quickly cook pizza and calculate change using toppings and money tiles. They will also learn about investing their profits to upgrade the shop as they bake their way to becoming entrepreneurs.
