The Weekly Ranum: Edition #30

Hi all,

Only a few more weeks left of school and we're focusing on mostly future oriented lessons like  college, career and finance.

Last week we started it off with a lesson called goals, wants and needs. This gave students a start on figuring out the things in life that they want to accomplish and/or focus on. It also let them see the difference between a want and need in life and they noticed a couple of common themes. First, we all have a lot more wants in our life than needs. Everyone wants the newest gadget or car or game but our needs is a relatively short list (air, food, water, housing, etc.) Second, they noticed that these wants in their lives will cost a good amount of money so being able to have a secure and consistent career is really important.

We're going to continue with some finance (stock market) lessons this week and maybe start identifying some future careers.

Have a great week!
