Money Management 101

Anneka is in first grade and is very eager to learn as you can tell, she loves to play with this game.

She asked me if she could count my change in the jar. I said to her: "If you will clean up the playroom downstairs I will pay you for it and you get to choose, either one loonie, or four quarters or 20 nickels." That sounded great to her. So as soon as she was finished and I checked 'her performance tata!' we emptied the jar and she started sorting the change. Then we discussed the value of each

coin and soon she had made up her mind, she would go for the 20 nickels.
Then she decided that for the records she'd better write down how much was in Oma's jar as you can tell by the result on the page she handed me.

Now when you click on the pictures to enlarge them, you might be able to make out what she wrote down.

This is what I call 'Money Management 101'















Kids are priceless aren't they? We feel so blessed!
