Journey Through The Code - Lesson 4A

Welcome to my journal blog entries about what it is like to use the Kingdom Code curriculum that teaches kids financial responsibility and how to build a business God's way. Today we are sharing about Lesson 4 in our Journey Through The Code, sponsored by The Kingdom Code. Come with us on a 27-lesson journey as we journal about our experience with The Kingdom Code curriculum!

This is Lesson 4, and it is done in two parts this time. This blog post will be about Lesson 4A followed by a new blog post about Lesson 4B.

Here's our experience with LESSON 4A:

Lesson 4A begins walking the child through creating a business plan. It took two days to work through starting Worksheet 4 and beginning to fill out information for a business plan. We began calculating totals of how many hours it will take her to finish each craft item and the practical aspects of running her business. She then completed a practice survey in preparation for an actual customer survey to be done later.

OUR REMARKS ABOUT ACTIVITIES IN THE LESSON THAT WE FOUND TO BE ENGAGING:

While she is very excited about making money with something she accomplishes, it's a bit of a challenge to stop and really think about setting the business up. She is also challenged with basic math of adding up time spent on projects and how much to charge. But, it is a good process to work through.

SUGGESTIONS, CHANGES, OR ADDITIONS MADE THAT WORKED PARTICULARLY WELL FOR OUR FAMILY:

This lesson was very thorough and the teacher guide really stressed activities to be used in a classroom setting, so I adjusted quite a bit to turn it into a one-on-one homeschool setting.


RECORDED OBSERVATIONS OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, MONEY SKILLS, BIBLE KNOWLEDGE, LIFE SKILLS, SOCIAL SKILLS, OR POSITIVE BEHAVIORS EXHITIBED OR ACQUIRED BY MY CHILD THAT I DIRECTLY ATTRIBUTE TO THE KINGDOM CODE CURRICULUM:

My daughter and I really liked how when discussing what Revelation meant, it talked about getting new ideas and how prayer and seeking mentors is important. She didn't want to share her written prayer but is praying about fresh ideas and guidance.


We were asked to have our child choose a viable business before the end of Lesson 2 and to complete the Treasure Builder Permit form.

The program emphasizes service businesses, even though we are free to choose a goods-related business instead. The reason they stress service is because business usually requires less money since a goods business requires purchasing supplies and figuring out costs for each item. Service teaches children the ability to please someone else in order to receive compensation. If you choose a goods business, many of the activities will have to be adapted and cost/sale price must be taught thoroughly so profitability is achieved.
