JA MY JOURNEY

JA My Journey is a series of workbooks that introduces elementary students to financial literacy, work readiness, entrepreneurial mindset, and essential early grade-level social studies, writing, and mathematics learning skills. Students are introduced to six key mindset characteristics to support their growth toward economic success; each mindset is represented by colorable “stickers” placed on various pages throughout the workbook. These six stickers represent being hopeful, solving problems, showing empathy, being resilient, making connections, and being entrepreneurial.
