Deborah McClean Karine -

I think adding practical problems helps the students receive the information. Kids like games and money so I do alot with money problems giving them life like play money to work with.

There is a MoneyCamp program that helps studnets learn about money in a fun way. You can check it out at http://www.winmds.com/workshops

brand new teacher without a full license yet) so I can't
really say how well it's working. The paper-based version

by Diane

Mar 28, 2015

I'm in a bit of a panic trying to get it all in...especially with the change in TEKS this year. I had to spend some time filling in gaps before I could teach the new material.
