About this Resource
This 30 minute webinar and powerpoint was presented by Junior Achievement Southern Alberta to support teachers addressing the financial literacy outcomes at each grade level from Kindergarten to Grade 6. Within this resource, you will learn about current JA programs, lesson materials and resources specific to your grade level.
Financial literacy has been identified by Alberta Education as one of the tangible skills students need in their personal lives and careers. Students will learn how money works and how to earn, save, invest, spend, share and borrow money. Although financial wellness is a component of the K-6 Physical Education & Wellness curriculum, this session provides teachers with ways to weave this learning throughout the curriculum. Students will learn, in age-appropriate ways, that money has value and allows them to purchase things they need or want.
