Financial Budgeting

This outing focused on budgeting as well as overall financial education. We started off the outing with the students make a “Needs and Wants” list, prioritizing the items they spent money on as being essential or optional. Next, the students calculated their weekly budget by adding up the costs of the items on the list - it was nice to have the students be aware of how much they spent and see where they could potentially save money. In order to practice, students "planned a vacation" and were given a certain amount of money to spend on different activities for a trip. Since this was our last outing for the year, we tried to have fun with everyone one last time by playing Pictionary. The students are amazing artists! This outing included many real-life applications and was a great way to finish off the year.
