Junior Achievement



A part of my EDG 4410 grade is to donate service hours during which I teach or tutor. To give us a hand, our professor linked us up with reps from our local Junior Achievement chapter. I'm a day late in contacting my teachers, first graded Kindergarten.

Yesterday, we received our packs filled with necessary supplies to present the program to the classes we were matched with. I was suprised by all the STUFF in there! It's so cute! Play money, play debit cards, certificates for every child, and even fridge magnets with a frame in the middle. So cool!

It's like a little flimsy-plastic treasure chest of materials, all for teaching kids about the way money affects our lives. It's smart to start teaching kids early about the ways of money, not so that they can develop a miserly personality, but so that they can learn where its place is and how to use it to have the best life possible. I can't wait to start!
