After 28 years of teaching English, I signed up to teach grade nine art. My school only has 15 teachers and the students were losing out on opportunities to explore their creativity. Having access to the lessons on Lesson Planet has helped me to cover the curriculum while having fun with all the different ways of teaching the subject. To say this site is a blessing is an understatement!

Having money is great, learning to manage it wisely is imperative. First, the class has a discussion on the value and convenience of having a checking account. Then, they practice filling out deposit slips, keeping an account register, and writing checks. Tip: Checks aren't used the same way they used to be, it may be a good idea to explain how an account register is used with ATM checking.
Have your young adults investigate the correct way to use a checking account. Incorporating algebra, learners calculate the balance of their account and balance their account correctly. They write a check and make "deposits" into their account.
Middle schoolers explore personal finance. They investigate spending, saving, and budgeting. Practice writing checks, managing a checking account, and developing a personal saving plan. A great way to bring the real world into the classroom.
In this ELL checking account worksheet, high schoolers read a selection about a couple saving money for their wedding. They answer 5 true or false questions about the reading before writing a short essay about whether the couple should or should not open a joint checking account, explaining why or why not.
In this withdrawing money from a checking account activity, students listen as the teacher reads a passage on why Mr. Nguyen is withdrawing $50 from his checking account.
Students view a PowerPoint presentation and identify the payee, drawer, and drawee. Students identify the numbers on the check. This is the first of a series of five lessons.
Young scholars keep track of finances in a check register. In this checking account lesson plan, students practice writing checks and deposit slips as they add and subtract decimal amounts in order to balance a checkbook in a register.
Eighth graders actively learn all about checking accounts and debit cards. They participate in mock transactions and experience the real life issues of managing money.
Fourth graders become familiar with the ways people exchange goods and services. In this spending money lesson plan, 4th graders listen to a chapter from Henry and Beezus and record Henry's earnings and money spent. Students use correct vocabulary to discuss and record Henry's lending and spending practices.
Young spenders take a look at the best ways to save and spend money. This type of financial education is lacking in schools, so implementing this lesson would be of great value to your students. Things like bank checking account fees, amounts of interest on savings accounts, fees associated with credit cards, and the "cheapest" way to make purchases are all explored. Some excellent activities and worksheets are embedded in this fine plan.
