Monthly Report Template
Katelyn Johnson from Highland Elementary School shared her Monthly Report stating that it "helps me keep track or participation data for my program. I fill these out each month and share with my principal. I also copy and paste these into my advisory councils twice a year so everyone knows what I'm doing. Another way I used this data was during national school counseling week. I added up totals and shared the # of times I met with kids individually, groups, classroom lessons and shared with my staff to promote my program."

Diving Into Spending Plans
This is a spending plan activity that I made digital off of an in-class activity using google sheets. It comes from a 7th-9th grade activity I found called "Diving Into Spending Plans". I use it with 4th and 5th grade classes. I made it with google sheets and formatted it with checkboxes and formulas to make it super simple for students to use. All they have to do is check boxes and all the math is done for them. It also has an education cards link that takes them to an online deck that I created that will give students their education level and spending money for the activity. I created this in sheets so that it could be assigned as an assignment in google classroom.Barsch Learning Style Inventory
