Throughout unit four of the Financial Literacy lesson,Credit Scores, I learned many things. To begin, I learned about the information that is put into a credit score.

However, anything personal such as, your gender, race, salary, were you live or your age will not go into your credit score. it's good to maintain a…

Research on financial knowledge and behavior indicates individuals in both developed and developing countries lack adequate knowledge to make informed financial decisions, especially subgroups like the young, women, and the less educated.

Literacy is defined as the ability to read and write. As a child, I was never the type to want to read, much less write. Spanish, being my first language, I always felt intimidated by the words like they would come out and bite me if I pronounced them wrong. I am the second child in a family of 9, but what would have been 11; having so many siblings, my mother never really had much time to teach me many things. I was surrounded by overwhelmingly Hispanic culture and language. As I did learn…

This year I have the honor of spending my days with 24 five year just starting their literacy journey. The undertaking is a daunting task (thankfully I have an amazing classroom teacher leading the way), the standards in place for kindergarten students are high. Finding a balance between strategies that distill a text into identifying letters and producing letter sounds, and allowing the students to find delight in a book of their own choice is imperative. I am humbled daily by their…
