Financial Literacy in Content Area

I teach EL for 6-8th graders.  As 6th graders they have a unit with JA Biztown in which they learn how to use a checkbook, how a business works, and the functions of cities.  Though this is a great unit, in my own classroom we do numerous mini-units in all three grades that emphasize the financial literacy geared towards post high school-college bound life.  We look at writing scholarship essays, RAI scores, and costs of college.  They have the opportunity to investigate different colleges and their costs, plus plan out how they would go about funding college.

For the price point, the bracelet is perfectly acceptable. Sure, it rattles a bit off-wrist and you can see a central link connective channel through the slight gaps between link the links, but it’s thin, comfortable, doesn’t pull hair, and has a push-button fold-over clasp link with four micro-adjust positions. Perhaps more importantly, it looks great on the watch, feels balanced on wrist, and is included in the price.
