Hi David,
It sounds like you’re doing an excellent job making financial literacy meaningful and practical for your students. Using real-life activities like grocery trips, writing checks, and managing a salary is a great way to give them hands-on experience that directly applies to life after graduation.
I especially like how you emphasize repetition and a slower pace to ensure understanding. It really shows a strong understanding of your students’ needs. Have you also tried incorporating simple budgeting worksheets or visual charts for tracking expenses? Those can sometimes help students see their progress and make abstract concepts like saving and spending more concrete.
Your approach is a great model for connecting classroom learning to real-world skills.
