BizTown Event Friday, January 13th for all Homeschool families!!
PLEASE READ but add post of interest in attending to Field Trip Post.
Exciting news!! They provide curriculum and real life simulation lab that’s absolutely amazing!! This learning experience allows students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. Students are able to connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world. Kids will learn about getting a job, banking, savings, budgeting, transactions, different forms of payments and utilizing their funds to get housing, groceries, insurance, vehicles… etc.. They will be the producers and consumers in a mock town. Please check out website for pictures of lab and more info https://sites.google.com/view/jaofwisconsincapstoneprograms JA BIZ TOWN is for ages 3rd grade ( who are strong readers, as was specially arranged for our kiddos because they are so bright) - 6th graders.
The date of the simulation for grades 3-6 is Friday, January 13th from 10-2:30 Cost is 17$
( Jen DM can arrange a group material pick up and delivery so you only have to make one trip to Milwaukee for the day of the in person lab)
BJ has done Biz Town with his classes, it's AWESOME! I have volunteered, it was so much fun for everyone! Check out the website.
JA BizTown begins with at home learning and culminates with a day-long visit to a fully interactive, simulated town where students operate the economy of a small city. Each student takes on a role such as CEO, CFO, Marketing Director, Sales Manager and others in order to run their businesses, receive paychecks, make bank transactions and shop. They consider saving/spending choices, risk management & insurance strategies, and make personal, career and business-related decisions.
