Skittles Wealth Activity
Skittles represent wealth
You will receive a paper bag with a certain amount of skittles.
Take turns picking a LIFE card from the pile, and read the card aloud.
Based on the instructions, you will either gain or lose your Skittles to the pile in the
center.
If you draw a Support Card from the pile, you skip your turn and hold onto the card for
later.
The Support Card can be used to cover one turn after you run out of candy.
When a player runs out of Skittles and Support Cards, they must leave the group and
gather in one corner of the room.

Title I Overview
National Perspective
Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act provides financial
assistance to local educational agencies (LEAs) and schools with high numbers
or high percentages of children from low-income families to help ensure that all
children meet challenging state academic standards.
LEAs target the Title I funds to schools with the highest percentages of children
from low-income families. (USDE, 2015)
National Data
The US Department of Educations most recent data on participation in the
program are from the 2009-10 school year. (USDE, 2015)
56,000 public schools
21 million children
59% were in grades K-5
3% in preschool
< 1% ungraded
National Requirements for
School Participation
Schools enrolling at least 40 percent of children from low-income families are
eligible to use Title I funds for schoolwide programs.
Title I schools with less than the 40 percent schoolwide or that choose not to
operate a schoolwide program offer a "targeted assistance program"
