Throughout the month of February, TMSA students have been learning about financial literacy. Using vocabulary, budget sheets and business research they are scratching the surface on skills such as responsible decision-making, communicating clearly, and developing effective ways to manage money that will help to help them lead a healthy and productive personal/professional life in the future.
Kindergarten –1st Grade: Learning vocabulary words such as: Time Management and Money Matters. We created our own definition of each word and drew the connection of the two as it pertains to our future professional goals.
3rd Grade: Students are learning about the different aspects of creating a business plan including financial projects, profit/loss margins and product sells.
6th – 8th: Grade: Middle school students are working on budgeting for specific professions. Students are responsible for tracking the budgeting process from a college student through and experienced professional while staying out of debt despite unexpected expenses.
