My Project

Where does money come from? My goal is to help my scholars begin to understand this valuable concept by providing books and materials about money.

Together we can lay the foundation for our youngest learners about money, where it comes from, how it is earned and how we choose to spend it.

Our pretend play area has been very popular this year. My hope is to add a new cash register, piggy banks and preferred baby items to capitalize on their natural interests. Thank you in advance for supporting our project!
