Our Grade 1 students had an enriching day at the Ancaster Old Mill’s ARTisan Market!
As part of their 'If I Had a Million Dollars' money unit, they learned about financial literacy, exploring concepts like currency and budgeting.
Students were given wallets with a limited amount of money, they budgeted for materials, bought painting supplies, and created beautiful cards. They also learned pricing strategies, with some becoming sellers and others buyers, all while gaining hands-on experience in real-world commerce.
We know that to prepare future-ready individuals we must share and instill common values throughout the entire school community and permeate all of our activities with a core set of values.
