My Project

Financial literacy is a valuable skill that empowers students to make informed financial decisions. Our third-grade social studies curriculum has just been revised to include more content on this critical life skill. Since this will be a focus in their classrooms, we anticipate that readers will have a greater interest in reading books related to financial literacy. Our media center's books on this topic need to be updated so they include more current and relevant information.

The financial literacy books in this project will help students to grow academically and empower them to make smart financial decisions now and in the future.

These books will give readers information on needs/wants, budgeting, and saving. Setting this foundation for financial literacy in elementary school will have a long-term impact on our readers' future successes. Thank you for your support in making this happen!
