New Biztown Class Begins Soon by Cherie Hammers

I am teaching a class in my home that you might want your child to participate in. This class is called Biztown and it is offered through Junior Achievement in Nashville. In short, this is a class for 4^th thru 8^th graders and is about business economics. We learn about the flow of an economy, banking (including checkbook skills), learning to interview for a job and other job-related skills, creating a business plan, creating a prototype for a business, appropriate skills for the job environment and much more. Everything they learn in class will be used during our field trip in a simulated town at the Junior Achievement facility in Nashville. Junior Achievement will assign to us certain businesses in the town and the children will apply and interview for jobs within those businesses.
