In this class your child will start to learn about personal finance. We will talk about needs vs. wants, decision making, tradeoffs, and future life goals and how to be successful. I will teach by reading information to students, having students complete a survey, videos as well as games. My teaching style is that everyone can learn at thier own speed and level. I want this class to be a basic class but also a chance for students to be able to have discussions and ask questions.
