In class we are planning a budget for a service project. We consider the costs for materials to advertise our project, printing charges to make fliers, postage for mailings, and other factors. To offset some of the costs we decided to earn a classroom "income." This activity is a real world experience for the students. Each student is assigned to chart and graph a weekly household budget. This is an opportunity to work together and discuss a household budget. As a household, you may decide to use actual or estimated expenditures and incomes. Use the chart below as a guide before graphing your budget.
