Language arts and mathematics, two of the major thrusts of the No Child Left Behind initiative, are brought together in this workshop. Fifteen lessons use children’s literature classics to teach personal finance. As students engage in the activities that accompany each lesson, they also get a good math workout, too! Students learn about saving, responsible consuming, etc., all in the context of children’s literature. Books used are:

• Annie’s Pet
• Beatrice’s Goat
• Bunny Money
• The Case of the Shrunken allowance
• Doggone Lemonade Stand
• Glo Goes Shopping
• The Great Pet Sale
• How Much is that Doggy in the Window?
• I Shop with My Daddy
• Lucky the Golden Goose
• Matilda the Moocher
• Max’s Money
• My Rows and Piles of Coins
• Pigs Will be Pigs
• Sheep in a Shop
