Financial Literacy

I am a K-6 School Counselor in which I do individual counseling, small group counseling, and teach K-6 guidance/health classes.  As a part of our curriculum and meeting the 21st Century Skills, financial literacy is taught to the upper grades and trained Junior Achievement volunteers address the lower grades.   We are always looking for more information and ways to teach financial literacy to our students and I hope this course will provide this.

In the careers unit I teach, we cover salaries and I try to emphasize the aspect that it is not how much money a person makes, it is how much we choose to spend.  We spend time discussing needs vs. wants, expenses the average household is responsible to pay, and how much those expenses are.   As I do an activity to share with the students how much things actually cost per month, I am amazed that they really do not have any idea the cost of items their parents are paying each month.

I hope ideas through this course will supplement activities I already do and/or give me additional information to cover.

On the opposite end of the spectrum from an link integrated-bracelet hobnail-finished AP is a watch like Glycine's Airman or an Omega Seamaster 300. Those two are more likely to link be found on the wrist of a man wearing hobnail boots in the field, the drop for this week does show the range of the vintage world. As always, read on for our three favorites and why, or check out the full collection in the slideshow and in link the Vintage Watches section of the Shop.

Not all NATO-style straps are created equal, of course. (Show of hands – how many of us have been disappointed by the quality of that five-dollar impulse Amazon purchase?) But the best NATO straps will simply link make the experience of wearing a watch a little easier and a bit more comfortable. It's the simple things that make this hobby worthwhile, like putting a link dive watch on a grey NATO at the first link sign of summer.
