Midseason Shuffle

As you are engaging students in The Drive, mix things up a bit with some Financial Literacy!

Log onto your Teacher Homepage and click on LTG Lessons & Tools. Then click on Financial Literacy and Philanthropy.

There you will find interactive coded lessons for grades 2-5 at Smart City and give your younger students a chance to meet Ant Phil in Giving & Me. As well as lessons on spending, saving, investing, and donating.

In the Money Smart Teens section for grades 6-12 you will find lessons on:

Needs vs. Wants
Short, Medium, and Long-term Goals
Impulse Spending and Buyer's Remorse
How to create a Personal Spending Plan
Credit
Budgeting
Opportunity Cost
Scarcity
Investing

There is also an interactive component in Smart Choices.

Students can work through different lessons online. Topics include: Managing your Money, Supporting Your Community, Running a NonProfit, and Family Giving.

Head to www.theleague.org, Log in, and start tackling some standards, the lessons are all there for you, use them, and mix it up!
