The JA in a Day will start when school begins and end about 15 minutes before the event ends. It may end really depending on the classroom's art, music, gym schedule.
Volunteers will teach either the kindergarten JA Ourselves or 1st grade JA Our Families program.
JA Ourselves®
JA Ourselves uses storybook characters in read-aloud and hands-on activities to introduce the role people play in an economy. Through engaging, volunteer-led activities, young students learn about individual choices, money, the importance of saving and giving, and the value of work. (Kindergarten)
JA Our Families®
JA Our Families explains how family members' jobs and businesses contribute to the well-being of the family and of the community. The program introduces the concept of needs and wants and explores the ways families plan for and acquire goods and services. Students analyze their own skills to determine ways they can support their families. (Grade 1)
