Sophomores from the Marketing Management and Finance program at Anderson I & II Career and Technology Center visited Robin Finley and Barbara Sherard’s second grade classes at Marshall Primary School in Belton on October 8, 2009. The purpose of this service learning project was to help reinforce financial literacy skills through recognizing currency, adding and subtracting amounts of money, and spending and saving choices. Career Center students created a lesson plan, activity book, and other related activities. The second graders at Marshall played money bingo, the allowance game, and learned a song about money that two CTC students wrote. Both Marshall Primary School teachers were very pleased with Career Center students and all of their hard work. The second graders took home goody bags with piggy bank safes, wallets, activity book, crayons, money pens, money bouncy balls, and money notepads. The project was funded by a grant the Career Center received from Webbcraft Family Foundation in Belton.
