| Lesson | Lesson | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| P1 | What Is Money For? People use money to get the things they need and like. | Children will tell that money is used to pay for things like food, clothes and toys. |
| P2 | Coins Look Different Pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters each have their own look. | Children will name and sort a penny, nickel, dime and quarter by color, size and edge. |
| P3 | Needs and Wants Some things we must have, and some things are just nice to have. | Children will sort pictures into needs (things we must have) and wants (things that are nice to have). |
| P4 | Wait, Save and Grow Putting money in a jar and waiting can help us get something special. | Children will explain that saving means keeping money to use later, and that waiting can help things grow. |
| P5 | Helping and Working Grown-ups work to earn money, and everyone can pitch in at home. | Children will tell that grown-ups work to earn money and that helping at home is a way to pitch in for the family. |
| P6 | Sharing and Giving We can share what we have and give to help others. | Children will name ways to share and give, with money, things or time. |
| P7 | Making Choices We can't have everything, so we pick what matters most. | Children will practice choosing one thing from two or more and tell why they picked it. |
| P8 | Taking Care of Things When we take care of our things, they last longer. | Children will show ways to take care of things they own or borrow so they do not get lost or broken. |
| P9 | Let's Play Store At a store, we trade money for the things we want. | Children will act out buying and selling, giving money to get an item. |
| P10 | Keeping Money Safe We keep money in a safe place and ask a grown-up for help. | Children will name safe places for money and tell that they should ask a trusted grown-up about money. |
