About This Activity
JA BizTown combines in-class learning with a day-long visit to a simulated town. This popular program allows elementary school students to operate banks, manage restaurants, write checks, and vote for mayor. The program helps students connect the dots between what they learn in school and the real world. Textbook included in class fee. There will be occasional homework assigned to complete outside of class. Intended for grades 4-5. We will accept students in Grade 3 if they can add and subtract decimals. This class culminates in a full day at the JA Biztown location in Nashville where students work their jobs and spend their paychecks. The date of our simulation day is TBD. Instructor: Angela Ellis
