Students can relate to the Money Monsters because they are not perfect; they make mistakes and learn about what they could have done better.    The Money Monster learn to have self-control and think before they act. They can understand how values, attitudes and beliefs about money can help them meet their financial goals and how they can make the right decisions for their situations. 

The Money Monster books are: 
Lesson 1 - Money Monsters Learn to Save

The three building blocks of youth financial capability: executive function, financial habits and norms, and financial knowledge and decision-making skills. 


Core Standards, that students will explore
Literal Comprehension -  After students have read the book, use these or similar questions to generate discussion, enhance comprehension, and develop appreciation for the content. Encourage students to refer to passages and/or illustrations in the book to support their responses. To build skills in close reading of a text, students should cite textual evidence with their answers.

Social Emotional Learning - Social and emotional learning involves being aware of and regulating emotions for healthy development.

🍎 Mrs. Lauren - I'm a K-8 certified teacher in the state of Michigan and have been a teacher since 2011. I have a Masters degree in Teaching and Curriculum with an Educational Technology concentration and a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. Both degrees are from Michigan State University.

In my teaching career, I also have experience in middle school Math and English Language Arts, along with the general elementary classroom. On Outschool, I have taught various technology classes since summer 2020, including typing/keyboarding, Google Slides design, and coding.

I'm very passionate about technology in education and I love teaching young students about all sorts of tech programs and skills - typing and word processing, slide shows and other presentations, graphic design, spreadsheets, website creation, video editing, coding, and more. My goal is to help students build new tech skills, apply them in creative ways, and have lots of fun while learning!

🍎Mrs. Lisa T. - Hello, my name is Mrs. Lisa and I'm an experienced educator with a diverse background. My areas of expertise and certification include Kindergarten through 6th grade teacher, 7th and 8th grade all four core areas, Gifted and Talented Teacher and Director of Education, Special Education Grades 4 through 12 specialist as well as building principal for PreK through 8th grade. During Covid shutdowns and quarantines I discovered that my students and I loved the online platform. I taught in a one to one school. Every student had a laptop as well as a school hotspot if their family asked for one.  I chose not to do the minimum "office hours" as my school required. I felt this did not meet my students' needs. I ran an online classroom during regular school hours as well as recorded the class for those students who were unable to connect with us or needed to hear the lesson more than once. My experience as a principal resulted in greatly improved learning for all students. The gifted students improved as well as those with learning disabilities. I believe in high expectations for all. High expectations that are attainable
