I teach 7th and 8th grade language arts and when it comes to financial literacy many would say that is the job of the math teachers. It is very crucial that we all take a part in helping our students understand the importance of financial literacy. Just like reading, it should be something we do in every classroom. I am finding lots of ideas on the website Finance in the Classroom!! <
