Bunny Money

In this lesson, students listen to the story of Ruby and Max, two bunnies that go
shopping and make many spending decisions. Students are introduced to short-term
and long-term savings goals to help them save for goods they want in the future.
After a goal-sorting activity, students choose and illustrate their own savings goals.
