Class Experience

Don't blow it! Don't burn it! Don't waste it! Money comes and goes but do you really understand how it all goes together?

In this 6 week class, we will look at advertising, goal setting, our thoughts about money and more that will help you form clear ideas about what you want in life and how money can help you get there. We will have interactive discussion questions each week where all learners will contribute in addition to individual lessons you will do at home.

Each week: Students will do assigned pages in workbook and then log into the classroom to answer the weekly question. All students are expected to answer the question every week. In addition, there will be fun games/activities/art projects for you to work on in pairs, individuals and as the whole group to enhance the classroom materials and create a rich learning environment. You will need to have a Padlet.com sign in for some of the virtual activities. There will also be questions that involve some serious thinking involving friends, family, honesty and reputations. We will have occasional videos to watch on your own that pertain to class material.

Week 1: Money Personality Profile- your thoughts about money
Week 2: Needs v Wants- Knowing the difference, advertising
Week 3: Money Motivators- How to deal with money decisions
Week 4: Money Talks- Money and Communication
Week 5: Get Smart- setting goals

I am a laid back teach who appreciates it when the students get involved! I will give you feedback within 3 days of your turning in your assignments in addition to the weekly lessons, activities and being available for any questions.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

I am a 4-H Agent who LOVES to learn.  I enjoy teaching young children and helping them get excited about learning.  For this age group, we will learn about nutrition, animals, science and many other fun topics.  I also enjoy novel studies for upper elementary and middle school grades.  I usually choose books that are not being studied widely but have a great plot with many elements to discuss.

I just finished my third Master's Degree (Agriculture, History and Youth Development).  I have a B.A. in English and an A.S. in Science with a PhD level certificate in Family and Community Development.  I need to decide on my next learning experience.  Many of my classes are on-line which I love.

I have two children who are grown- one is in veterinary school abroad and one is in the U.S. Army.  We homeschooled, on-line schooled, private schooled and public schooled so I have knowledge of all types of learning.  I have been married for 23 years.

I LOVE animals.  We foster mama dogs and puppies for two local rescues and breed Toyger and Bengal cats.  We have 3 large dogs and about 30 chickens as well.  I'd love to get a goat next.
