Spend, save and share

1. Make a plan for a pretend five dollars: what to spend now, what to save, and what to share.
2. Afterward, your child writes how today's topic shows up in their own town or home.

Read-aloud: Coo Catches Gumdrop

1. Read “Coo Catches Gumdrop” aloud. If your child asks to hear it again, say yes: hearing a story twice is how it sticks.
2. Afterward, ask: has anything like this happened to you? How was it the same, or different?
