Level C is recommended for either 2nd or 3rd grade classrooms.
Hours of Instruction: 6 (eight 45-minute lessons)
The lessons
are fully-scripted so teachers need not create lesson plans. Students love working with the Money Savvy Pig piggy
bank and, of course, receiving one of their very own
to use in the classroom and ultimately take home.
They relate to the hands-on-activities, two per lesson
that simulate real life experiences and will enjoy
singing along to the catchy "History of Money" song.
