Week 6 Thing 9 Learning 2.0
Here is the link to my Google Custom Search Engine entitled Fiscal Fitness.
FINRA the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Education Foundation (they are the guru's who regulate Wall Street) recently donated $1.2 million dollars in grants to public libraries to support financial literacy.
See the article here:
Libraries and Financial Literacy.. two of my loves. Well, libraries rate a little higher :)
Now.. if we could only get FINRA to do the same thing for school libraries think of the possibilities!!!!

Just FYI.
There are so many fun school age books related to financial literacy education.
Check out the website at Utah's own financeintheclassroom.org (you can find it on my search engine) created by the Utah Education Network.
You'll find ton's of fun books that teach financial literacy concepts for grades K-12. The website features this with lesson plans, games, printouts and more. All lessons meet the Utah State Educational curriculum requirements for teaching financial literacy in the classroom. Who knew? I did!
p.s. Financial Literacy would be a great month long school library theme and all those fun books could be featured.
