Week 1 Grade 6

Welcome to Financial Literacy Class!

This class will help you begin to think about financial topics and learn how to make decisions about earning, spending, and saving money.

In addition to the lessons directly connected to finances, we will also be covering Character Education Topics such as Growth Mindset & The 7 Habit of Happy Kids. You will be able to see, first hand, how the 7 Habits connect directly to your decision making in all areas of your life, including money decisions!

So, today we are going to start off with some basics.

Financial Literacy is a Special, so you will have this class once every 6-day cycle. All lessons & assignments will be completed in class; however, if you need more time, you may complete the assignment outside of the class period, but it must be completed by the due date. In addition, if you are absent, you will need to make up the lesson & the assignment before the next class period.

Since this is our first week of lessons, our target for today is: Get to Know Your Teacher, Basic Google Classroom Navigation, and "I Can Do Anything!".

Today in class we will cover the following:

1. Seating Assignments: In this class, you will be able to choose your own seat. Once the choice is made, this will become your permanent seat. Under certain circumstances, seat changes may be made, but these will be done on an individual basis and discussed between the student & the teacher. You will be expected to sit in your regular seat unless directed by the teacher to change it.

2. What to Bring to Class: Your CHARGED Chromebook

3. Teacher Introduction & "What is Financial Literacy" Discussion
