6th Grade Learns About Finance and Personal Budgeting at JA Finance Park


Over the past month and a half, the sixth grade immersed themselves in an online, self-directed financial literacy unit. A number of topics were studied including: personal finance, budgeting, money management, saving, spending, taxes and financial institutions. The culmination of their studies occurred on March 4 with a visit to the Junior Achievement Finance Park. On this trip, the students "put into action" what they had learned about the basics of managing a realistic personal budget. The on-site activities included a reality-based decision-making process addressing aspects of individual and family budgeting, including housing, transportation, food, utilities, health care, investments, philanthropy and banking.
