Want to Learn How to Adult? Let's Learn!

Help me give my students a classroom set of personal finance books. I have been working on assignments that will coincide with the material covered. I also would like to build my classroom library with other books.

My Project

Gas prices are up. Inflation is at a record high. Many families have struggled financially due to COVID and continue to struggle due to rising prices. Learning 'How to Adult' before mistakes are made would put my students at an advantage in life.

My classroom is open during lunch so students can come enjoy a personal finance library.

Personal finance learned in the classroom is shared at home benefitting families in our community. Offering a variety of books will allow students to pick the book best for them. Thank you.
