Class Experience

Financial literacy is a crucial life skill that often goes overlooked in traditional school curricula. However, its importance in preparing children for the future cannot be overstated. Understanding the fundamentals of money, the significance of early savings, and how to avoid major financial pitfalls is essential.

In this enlightening camp, we will delve into various financial topics, empowering children with the knowledge and tools they need to navigate the complex world of personal finance. Each day, we will explore a new financial concept through a dynamic blend of lectures, engaging discussions, informative videos, interactive games, and hands-on activities. 

Day 1: Budgeting
On the first day, we will dive into the art of budgeting. Students will learn how to create and manage a budget, understand the importance of tracking income and expenses, and develop strategies to make informed spending decisions.

Day 2: Borrowing
During the second day, we will tackle the topic of borrowing. Students will gain insight into different types of borrowing, such as loans and credit cards. We will discuss the responsible use of credit and the potential risks associated with borrowing. 

Day 3: Saving
Saving is a vital aspect of financial well-being, and on the third day, we will explore its significance. Students will learn about the power of compounding, the benefits of setting financial goals, and various saving strategies that can help them achieve their dreams.

Day 4: Investing
The fourth day will be dedicated to introducing learners to the world of investing. We will discuss basic investment concepts, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Students will learn about the potential risks and rewards of investing and gain an understanding of long-term financial planning.

By the end of this camp, learners will have a solid foundation in key financial principles. They will be equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to make informed financial decisions, setting them on the path to financial independence and success. Join us for this empowering journey into the realm of financial literacy!

Learning Goals

Throughout this course, students will learn how money works, budgeting, why it is important to save early, how loans and credit cards works, and how the stock market works.

Hi! My name is Lydia. I am a teacher and a librarian. I love learning, and I think learning should be fun. I like to laugh, sing, and play with little kids, and I love exploring strange and exciting topics with older learners. 

Throughout the course of my career, I have worked with kids of all ages - from children as young as three all the way up to high school seniors.I have worked as a classroom teacher, preschool teacher, school librarian, nanny, camp counselor, and volleyball coach. I have more than ten years experience working with kids. I have a Bachelor's degree in English. I also have a Master's degree in Library and Informational Sciences specializing in school library media. When I completed my Master's program, I receiving a teaching certificate in the state of Virginia.

Before my career in education, I worked as a newspaper reporter. I still love reading a daily newspaper, and I am very passionate about current events. 

I also love to cook and bake, and I'm really good at it. I even have my own wheat grinder and make my own bread. It's not all healthy, though. I can make some of the best tasting ice cream in the world! Check out some of my cooking classes, and I'll teach you all you need to know! 

Please come join me in one of my classes! I'd love to see you soon!
