Captain Cash Coming To Local Classes
October 28, 2024 at 5:25 p.m.
“Captain Cash,” an elementary curriculum designed by Purdue Extension for elementary-grade students, is setting sail in your community.
It is never too early for children to learn how to become earners, savvy savers, wise spenders and careful borrowers. This financial literacy program engages children in money-smart activities and takes them down the road to financial fitness.
Mentone Elementary has partnered with Purdue Extension educators to bring “Captain Cash” into Katie Yoars’ fourth-grade classroom. Each student will participate in four class sessions with take home parent newsletters given at the end of each lesson. Newsletters contain suggested at-home games and activities that focus on earning, saving, planned spending and wise borrowing of money. Each session introduces money-related vocabulary words and teaches money concepts that are based on Indiana Academic Standards for math and social studies.
If you would like to learn more about “Captain Cash” in your school, or embark on a money voyage of your own, contact Shannon Shephard at 574-372-2341 or [email protected].
