Mar 2 - 6

PowerUp: Students will be working on some real-life skills this month! Budgeting and expenses, taxes and investments. They may even be coming home to talk to you, parents, about how much things cost in your family.
Make your estimations (you do not need to fill in the income piece) for a monthly budget: What do YOU think your household spends on these things? After you make your estimation, have a conversation with the adults in your house, how close or how far off are you from what is actually spent each month?
