December can be a very difficult time of the year to teach and keep students engaged as there is usually alot going on! That’s why it’s even more important to assign activities or projects that will keep them focused and on task. The beauty behind the Gifts That Keep On Giving project is that it is very hands-on and helps you at the same time create a wall display or bulletin board that is informative, colorful and festive for the time of the year!
If you teach a finance class, you most likely teach about money management and investing. Warren Buffet has often been touted as the greatest investor of all due to his success over the years especially with his approach to investing. With that being said, I put together this Warren Buffet Quote Assignment that not only introduces students to him, but puts them in his shoes to decide if he would approve of real world financial behaviors and decisions.
As a teacher, you have a lot on your plate! Why not let your students help you create bulletin boards as they also get acquainted with you, your class and their peers? The “Money Talks Bulletin Board & Ice Breaker Activity” will help you get your personal finance class or unit started, keep students engaged and help them learn more about each other and in the process you will learn more about their financial habits and backgrounds! It’s a WIN, WIN, WIN for everyone!
