Curriculum Features
Junior's Backpack Activity Series is the perfect supplement to
any classroom. Your students can take the backpack home with them
and use it as a homework assignment. Another option is to
"unpack" the contents of the backpack and set up a learning
center in your classroom.
Each backpack includes resources that will help teach students
about responsibility, math, reading, and personal finance
principles so they can become financially secure, debt-free
adults!
