Hello Educators!
You know how our 4th and 5th graders are becoming such independent thinkers? I've found this WorldofMoney course fits perfectly with that "I can do it myself" energy they bring to class every day.

Why Our Upper Elementary Students Need This Now:
- They're starting to get allowances and birthday money - perfect teachable moments!
- They're showing curiosity about earning and saving their own money
- Our students are asking thoughtful questions about how the financial world works
- They're ready to understand savings and even basic investing concepts
- We're preparing them for the bigger financial decisions they'll face in middle school

District 7: Middle-High School Curriculum
Hey Fellow Teachers!
You know those "When am I ever going to use this?" questions we get? Well, the WorldofMoney course answers them! Our teens are already thinking about money – from their first jobs to college plans to the latest investing trends they're seeing online.
This isn't just another add-on to our busy day. It's the course students actually text their friends about! When my student used our budgeting lesson to convince her parents to let her save for a car instead of buying the latest iPhone, I knew we were teaching something that is required in life.
Why Our Teens Can't Wait:
- They're making real money moves now - from part-time jobs to payment apps
- Their social feeds are flooded with financial "influencers" - they need facts, not hype
- College and career decisions are looming - these choices can't wait
- They're already using digital banking - but need to understand the risks
- The financial habits they build now will impact their adult lives
Real talk: this curriculum doesn't just teach money skills – it gives our students the confidence to make smart financial choices. (And yes, you'll probably end up updating your own budget too!)
