JA day two

Todaywas the second session of JA. The session today was more informatioal than the first session. I learned from last session that preperation goes a long way, so i read ahaed for this session and saw how vanilla it was. I started to foresee boredom for the students. Last session we talked about budgeting money, personal decision-making, and financial planning on a monthly basis, and then the studetns split up into groups to play a board game. Today the intorductionary discussion was on long-term savings. Most of what the booklet told me to do in the intro i glossed over, or rearranged. I did this because I wanted to revisit what studetns thought was fun from last class and try to get them to see how the new session is an extension of what they previously learned. In addition, I tried to bring in good current examples that related to our discussion and help the studetns concentrate more. This worked well. One problem that I keep running into though is time. The sessions are supposed to be 45 minutes long but we seem to be running out of time at the end to do a summary or conclussion of what we learned. FOr next time i want to get to class earlier so that I can setup quicker.
