Jane brought home some work she had completed at school and I was so excited to see she gets the concept of money. Here's what she seems to understand:
Sould I get a horse?
Benefits (Pros)
- fun riding
- Have party with it.
- If don't have car...ride horse.
- having races
- something to play with.
Costs (Cons)
- Pay taxs
- Have to get money for buying food.
- Somewere for it to stay
- money for it.
In Second Grade they are doing a unit on Needs vs. Wants and Money. I love this because we have always tried to teach our children to be responsible with their money. Last year Jane and I discovered that if you own a horse (or any livestock in Missouri) you have to pay property taxes on them. After much consideration Jane has decided she wants a bird.
