My Project

In learning Financial Literacy using play money helps students understand financial transactions, budgeting, and the value of funds tangibly. A small safe: Teaches the importance of saving and securing money, emphasizing financial responsibility and security. Monopoly Game(s): will provide a fun, interactive way to learn about investments, property management, and financial decision-making. The bean bag chairs: create a comfortable learning environment, encouraging engagement and focus during lessons. Safety Glasses: Ensures safety during hands-on science experiments, promoting a safe and practical learning experience. The goal is to teach students financial literacy within the context of science while helping students understand the importance of budgeting, saving, investing, and integrating financial concepts with scientific experiments and projects.

What makes my students special: My students are at the alternative school and need exposure to new perspectives and opportunities.

They benefit from seeing practical applications of financial literacy in real-world scenarios. Providing diverse learning tools helps them envision a future beyond their everyday experiences and helps them on their lifelong journey.
