Teaching Children About Money
Everyone needs to understand money: where it comes from, how to spend it wisely, and how to save and invest for the future. Too many parents don't take time to teach their children about the value of money, and unfortunately, many of those children grow up to be adults who struggle with money management skills.
This month we are learning to master the skill of identifying coins and the one-dollar bill. This unit focuses on learning these concepts through hands-on games and activities that can be enjoyed at an independent level, along with additional methods to easily integrate further practice into the daily classroom routine. We are also including a lesson plan to teach our son the concept of earning and saving money.... Now if I can teach my children to steer away from the "action aisles" at store:)
