Fin Lit

Chris Penning
I work with middle school students 5-8 and we have a 7th grade exploratory class called Financial Literacy. This was a no brainer when it came to taking this course. We currently use the curriculum known as the Real Game. In the Real Game students are encouraged to start off with developing their dream cloud. Meaning, they can buy anything and everything. The next day we then begin to realize that they can not afford that dream. Throughout the curriculum we re-budget and try to find the difference between needs and wants. This class has helped me find more resources and online activities for me to use with the students.
