Personal Finance
Mrs. Carroll
Hi Parents!
This course is designed by Dave Ramsey and focuses on everything from the basics of savings and budgeting to investments and taxes. This course will be very practical for your student and will help to prepare them for college and life beyond! We have a course workbook for each student that they are able to write in and keep for future reference. We will watch videos and listens to radio calls from Dave Ramsey and his daughter as well to hear some real life experiences of people who have lived through the highs and lows of money management.
Today in class, we discussed the importance of them talking to their parents about money and using your knowledge as a valuable resource for them to learn about it. As an elective, homework will be very minimal. Tonight they have an assignment to begin a conversation with you and interview you about lessons you have learned and want them to learn in terms of finances. I have given them questions to ask (found on my website) and told them that they are not required to share anything with the class that you do not wish to be open knowledge. I appreciate your willingness to participate and hope that this can be an on-going conversation for them throughout the semester as we cover the various topics.
Looking forward to a great semester together!
Mrs. Carroll
