Financial/Economic GOALS!

Funded Feb 10, 2021

With the donations I received, I was able to purchase supplemental materials for my Economics course. I was also able to purchase materials on personal finance which many of my students had expressed they were interested in. Some topics included how to read a paystub, how to file taxes, and how to create a salary-based budget.

As the year has come to a close, students were asked to complete an end-of-the-year survey. They were asked to reflect on our course and share positive and constructive feedback and reflections. One of the questions asked students to share their favorite lesson from this year's Economics course and I am pleased to share that the products I purchased on personal finance were the lessons that students absolutely loved.

One of the final activities that my students completed was titled "Salary-Based Budget". This activity required students to follow several steps and make many choices along the way that would require them to develop a salary-based budget. At first, many students struggled to understand why they should be interested, but by the end of the activity, the majority of my students shared that it was their favorite activity this semester.

I am grateful that I was able to purchase supplemental materials to share with my seniors this year and I am confident that they have left my classroom with lessons they will take into adulthood. This has only been possible with your support and donations.”
