Financial Literacy in 1st Grade

Adrianne Worley
As a first grade teacher, I teach financial literacy in collaboration with Junior Achievement.  I have a volunteer from a local business and we provide 6-7 weekly lessons.  Together we teach the students about community, family, and wants vs. needs. When we discuss wants vs. needs we bring in ideas like saving and financial planning. Students are asked to determine their wants and needs and ideas on how to save for both.
