My Project

Learning what is needed and wanted are hard concepts to understand when you are still trying to navigate life. I am blessed to have have a class where I can teach not only the ABC's and 123's but this wonderful thing we call life!

Teaching and utilizing simple economics is one of the ways that we learn how to navigate ourselves in this world and I believe that the best way to teach this is hands-on.

During our economics unit, we will be creating a classroom store where the students get to use the points they have acquired throughout the semester on fun items. Students love to buy things and snacks like these are just the key we need!
