Picture This! Bulletin Board Economics for Grades K-3
Wednesday, September 30, 2009 4:30 – 6:30pm
Virginia Beach Higher Education Center
Receive a set of 12 posters when you attend this workshop. These posters, illustrating economic and financial literacy concepts, give teachers innovative teaching tools to cover the SOL economics strand. During the workshop we will review the K-3 economics concepts and learn great tips on teaching them in your classroom. Connect the concepts with the provided list of children’s literature and you have ready-made interdisciplinary lessons. As a bonus, learn how to enter your students’ art so that they can be on next year’s posters!
