The students will use financial literacy to reinforce money skills. For example, we will read the story Alexander, Who Used to be Rich Last Sunday by Judith Viorst and discuss the ways he uses money to purchase goods as a consumer. I will give them $1.00 from the money trays and have students plan how they will budget and buy "classroom snacks" throughout the week. They will write down how much money they need and how much money they will have left.
Financial literacy for kids is about ensuring that they are educated on the best way to manage finances.
Another financial literacy money activity that we will use with the money trays will be "Coin Riddles: What's in Your Wallet?" We will put a collection of coins equaling no more than $1.00 in a "purse or wallet". The exact quantity of each coin will depend on the riddle written on the wallet. For example: There are 4 coins. The coins total 30 cents. What coins do I have? This will help my students understand the value of money and how to manage it.
