Detailed Information

You know the old saying "money doesn't grow on trees"? Well, what if it could?

Watch as your young students learn the value of money, earning and saving with a simple paper tree cut-out and coins. The more coins they earn for working hard, finishing their work on time, and having good behavior in the classroom, the more coins they can paste on their paper trees.

But don't forget, the reward of saving is nothing without the temptation of spending. Set a savings goal and offer your students fun goodies like extra recess time, a picnic, lunch time or a classroom party they can purchase with their coins.

What will your young shoppers do? Will they spend more or will they save more?

This is one exciting way Financial Fitness for Life Pocket Power Teacher's Guide helps you teach your students to earn money, spend wisely and save over time.

So, start giving your students a solid personal finance foundation now and see how quickly money will grow on their trees.

Use Interactive Lesson Plans, Storytelling and a Supporting Parent's Guide to Teach Personal Finance

Get your students' creativity flowing and their personal finance skills glowing and explore a series of lesson plans that cover essential and easy to understand-topics like:

  • The Value of Money
  • How to Decide to Spend
  • Why and How to Save
  • Earning and Working for Income

    • Plus, your handy teacher's guide correlates with a personal finance storybook designed to teach basic financial literacy concepts through short stories. Your students will follow the adventures of little Nicholas and little Penny as they learn about money, saving and earning.

    Keep your young students' energetic minds sharp and fresh with a useful Parent's Guide they can review with their parents after school. With additional activities and a review of the day's lessons your students (and parents) can keep learning.

    No Lesson Planning Needed with Ready-to-Use Lesson Plans, Reproducible Visuals and Activities

    Each lesson plan includes clear background information and step-by-step procedures to help you teach the content with ease; warm-up questions to get your students active and thinking; reproducible activities and visuals; and cool-down questions to review concepts from each lesson.

    With a little bit of hands-on fun and story-telling teach your young students important personal finance skills and prepare them for a healthy financial future right from the very beginning.
