8th Grade JA Day


JA Economics for Success Lessons:

Mirror, Mirror (Language Arts)
Students make choices to better understand the concept of self-knowledge – the awareness of their skills, interests, and values – as they consider education, careers, and other life choices.

Be a Success (Social Studies)
Students learn how to set goals for their financial future.  They play the Be a Success Game to see the connection between personal finance, education and careers.

Keeping the Balance (Math)
Students receive Occupation Cards and observe how different jobs provide different monthly salaries.  Based on those monthly salaries, students evaluate the opportunity cost when making budget decisions.
