Financial Literacy in Content Area

I am a Gifted and Talented teacher and an AP Coordinator/Mentor. I feel it is a very good fit to teach financial literacy to my G/T students. They are so busy taking college classes in high school and extra curricular that they generally don't take this type of class. Since I have a pull out program K-8, I can teach this with my middle school kids. Even talking to my elementary kids about savings accounts is a great idea and showing how your money grows in an account. (Not as great as when I was a kid and we got 8% in a savings account.)

I actually have some financial literacy games my students can play to change up their learning. My 7th graders build a village, earn money, pay rent/mortgage payments, buy building supplies, day care, draw incident cards that say they inherited money, had a vehicle breakdown, etc; and have to keep track of where their money goes and how much they have left. It has been fun listening them talk about how maybe they should have built their house smaller, had a less expensive car, or not bought items that weren't necessary.

This will be the first year I plan to do financial literacy with my 8th graders. I want to talk about checking accounts, debit/credit cards, loans, and how to pay for college. I think I will get a lot out of this class that will help me in my planning.

The ability to read a chronograph instantly to the fraction of a second is one such hallmark, as is the clever use link of space. Take, for example, the angled rehaut of the link Carrera, a part that separates the dial from the inside of the crystal. In Heuer’s link Carrera, it’s printed with the seconds / minutes scale – a clever use of space that effectively expands the interface without enlarging its footprint.

In fact, what I'd really love to see next year, during Swatch's link fortieth-anniversary celebration, is a limited-run revival of the Tresor link Magique in a larger size and with the Sistem51 movement link inside – but with all the eccentricity of the 1993 original. Bada-bing, bada-boom, now that's a watch.

The pair incorporates link natural hues in the bezel and dial, and instead of a bracelet or rubber strap, they come on Seichu fabric straps. According to Seiko, Seichu is a traditional Japanese braiding technique that results in a strap link that's four times stronger than other Seiko fabric straps. The watches ship with two; the SPB239 comes with black and desert khaki Seichu straps, while the link SPB237 comes with olive drab green and admiralty grey Seichu straps.
