Elementary educators are charged with teaching their students literacy skills and economic principles - why not combine the two for maximum efficiency and engagement?

This program will consist of six 30-minute modules that will be sent out in pairs (one focused on K-2 and the other on Grades 3-5) every week starting May 30. All modules will be available until June 27.
