About This Product

Finances and Record Keeping Lessons | Life Skills Unit includes 7 lessons for basic finances. Have students create a Life Skills notebook to file away useful information for their future as you learn about necessary life skills.

Each lesson includes a page outline that can be used as a discussion guide or handout for students. Some lessons have a practice template or form for students to practice filling out. There are 3 homework sheets. Hopefully these will provide a good framework for your life skills lessons.
