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 creating a project to kindly request ink supplies for our classroom printer, which will be instrumental in implementing a new focus on “financial literacy” in our curriculum. Financial literacy is a critical skill that will equip students with the knowledge to make informed decisions about managing money, budgeting, saving, and investing—skills they will carry throughout their lives. With access to printed materials, I can provide students with hands-on activities and resources that will significantly enhance their learning experience in this vital area.

Having an ample supply of ink will allow me to print worksheets, financial simulations, and real-world budgeting exercises to make lessons engaging and relevant.

These printed materials will allow students to apply financial concepts in tangible ways, promoting deeper understanding and retention.

I will print mock budgets, bills, and expense trackers, giving students practical experience in managing a budget and making financial decisions. I will use printed financial planning templates to help students create their own savings and investment goals, fostering financial responsibility. By printing tailored exercises, I will meet the specific needs of students at different learning levels, ensuring each student receives the support they need to succeed.

Our students are a special group with incredible potential. Many come from diverse backgrounds, and financial literacy will empower them to make informed decisions about their future. By providing ink, you are not only supporting their current education but also contributing to lifelong financial wellness.
