It's Teach Children to Save Week at Ladysmith Federal!
Teach Children to Save is a national program led by the American Banker Association that organizes bank volunteers to help young people develop lifelong savings habits.
During presentations by Kat Detloff this week the students are learning about saving money and earning income. We are reading the book "Curious George Saves His Pennies" by Margret and H.A. Rey’s.
In the story, George decides to save for a red train at the toy store, but he does not realize how long it will take — or how hard he'll have to work. Along the way, students were able to learn about responsibility as well as strategies they can use to save for their goals.
We discussed the story and learned key terms like saving, savings goal, earning income, and gift money. We also talked different jobs that the students can do, or currently do, at home to help them earn money to save up towards their own savings goals.
