Social Studies
- General
Schedule:
Monday - Classroom - 224: 2:00 pm - 2:50 pm
Description:
Traditionally this course is designed for elementary students but I have found it is more applicable and memorable if completed in middle school. Students will learn about income, banking, how to balance a bank account, spending and saving money, and about the roles that individuals play within an economic system. Generally, kids participate in a simulation at the conclusion of the class. We will hold our own simulation at the center where students will have a "job", earn "money", deposit their paychecks, balance their account, and shop/play at the other "stores".
