| Project Description | ||||||||
| Students rarely have an understanding of
the concept of money. They don’t understand its
value, its power, or its purpose. They also don't know
how it is obtained and how it is saved. By creating
real-life simulations and applications, students will
gain a greater understanding of the “big
picture” of money. By earning, saving and spending
money, students will develop an understanding of the
global concept of money. The Union
Planters Bank has asked our class to help them teach
other second grade students about money. By designing,
creating and running a store, students will apply their
newly acquired knowledge about money. They will create a
poster about money that will be shared with Union
Planters Bank. The bank will share this information with
other 2nd grade students. |
