Want more bang for your buck? Use these picture books as part of your reading and economics unit! Some are short and sweet and can fill a transition time or short break, while others are lengthy and make a great lesson in itself!
I love being able to share a book with the class. Third graders love to have stories read to them. Try these to help those kiddos make those economic connections that just aren't sinking in!
Happy Teaching!
