Feed the Pig
Financial Literacy Program
4th - 6th Grades
Audience:
4th – 6th grade students and their families
Challenge:
To create a teacher-friendly curriculum that will easily integrate into existing elementary school math curricula while incorporating important financial literacy concepts
The JMH Solution:
In order to engage and involve students in demonstrating responsible financial habits, JMH combined classroom lessons with interactive and take-home activities. The program includes a teacher's guide with activity instructions, teaching tips, assessments, extension activities and hands-on tools. Student and family activities include 12 piglet character cards exhibiting different financial backgrounds and habits. An interactive web-based game gives students the opportunity to try out their responsible financial decision-making skills in class and at home. A take-home activity engages the whole family in learning about the important financial literacy concepts their children are learning in class. JMH also created outreach posters and flyers for state CPA societies to promote the program in their communities. These materials provide information for CPAs to effectively reach out to local schools with this important program, along with leave-behind materials with program information for the teachers.
