Second Grade

Home / Financial Education / Money Minded Illinois / Elementary School Resources / Second Grade

Our Second Grade curriculum ties into the Social Studies theme of "Families, Neighborhoods, and Communities." By the end of the lessons, they should be able to explain how money can be spent or saved on goods and services, the role of money in making exchange easier, and learn how choices can have both positive and negative impact on their lives. By teaching this unit, all Financial Literacy and Economics standards are met, coupled with many of the inquiry standards as well.
