⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yvonne C. says, "This resource was a great find to support my planning in teaching financial literacy to my grade one students. The curriculum had been changed this year and this resource did an outstanding job in guiding me towards the key concepts that my students needed to learn about. The planned activities were engaging and helped the students to connect with the world around them. I wish to say thank you for giving me a resource that guided not only my teaching efforts but assisted the students to learn such a valuable concept. Many thanks for your hard work and efforts to make resources like this possible."
