Grades K–5
Start Small, Save Up
Help K–5 students explore the basics of how and why to save money.
To get started, spark a quick discussion
about key money-related vocabulary. Go
deeper by choosing from the activities below.
Discussion
• Grades K–2, start here: Explain that people
use money for things they need, such as
food and clothes. People also use money for
services (actions that help others), like getting
a haircut or advice from a doctor.
• All grades, including K–2: Explain that when
people regularly set aside small amounts of
money, they are saving money. Point out
that the opposite of saving is spending (using
money to buy things).
• If you have a savings goal (something you’d
like to save money for, like a book or a
skateboard), it can help you save birthday or
allowance money.
ZZZ For a hands-on, science-inspired activity,
go to scholastic.com/saveup to download a
bonus lesson plan.
My Savings Goal (Grades K–2)
Introduce the concept of saving money with
an engaging discussion and art activity.
• Ask students for examples of things a family
saves for (vacation, car, college) and things
a kid might want to save up for (game, book).
• Have students use the activity sheet to draw
their savings goal and write a caption.
Skipping Into Savings (Grades 2–3)
Have students visualize the concept of starting
small and saving up through skip counting.
• Review how to skip count.
• Have students solve the problems on the
activity sheet to see how small amounts of
money add up over time.
What’s Worth Saving For? (Grades 3–5)
Guide students in examining their feelings
about money and using the activity sheet to
map out a savings plan.
• Reflective Writing (Activity A): Students
respond to questions about money habits.
• Level It Up With Math (Activity B): Older
students calculate simple equations on the
graphic organizer to create a savings plan.
Coloring Your Savings (Grades K–2)
Teach students that things you buy cost dierent
amounts of money with a fun math activity.
• For younger students, explain that dollar bills
come in dierent amounts. Common bills
are $1, $5, $10, and $20.
• Have them practice adding by coloring in the
bills on the activity sheet.
• Discuss which items might cost more money and
take longer to save for (compare and reason).
Saving for Now and Later (Grades 3–5): Explore the dierence
between short- and long-term savings goals with a card game.
• Have groups sort savings cards into two piles—short-term and
long-term savings goals—and explain their reasoning.
• See the activity sheet for teacher instructions and vocabulary support.

Instructions for Teachers
Prep: Plan to place students into small groups.
Print one single-sided copy of this sheet for each
group. Cut out cards and keep them in sets.
1. Introduce the dierence between short-term
and long-term goals.
• Short-term goal: something you want to
achieve soon (a few weeks to a year)
• Long-term goal: something you want to
achieve in the future (one year or more)
2. Divide students into small groups and give
each group a set of cards.
3. Have students sort the cards into two piles—
short-term goals and long-term goals—and
discuss their reasoning with their group.
Optional guidance: Have students imagine they
receive $5 per week (and/or have $20 in the
bank) to help them identify short- and long-term
goals. Use amounts appropriate for your class.

Reading Passage
The Crow and the Pitcher
Text adapted from The Aesop for Children: With Pictures, by Milo Winter.
Read this short fable and consider how small, repeated actions can have a
significant eect over time.
In a spell of dry weather, when the birds could find
very little to drink, a thirsty crow found a pitcher with a little
water in it. But the pitcher was high and had a narrow neck,
and no matter how he tried, the crow could not reach the water.
The poor thing felt as if he must die of thirst.
Then an idea came to him. Picking up some small pebbles,
he dropped them into the pitcher one by one.
With each pebble the water rose a little higher
until at last it was near enough so he could drink.

Experimenting With Saving
Students conduct a simple science experiment (inspired by a classic fable)
to examine how a small action can make a big dierence over time.
Instructions for Teachers
Part A
1. Tell students that they’ll hear or read a fable about how a
small action can make a big dierence if you do it many times.
Explain that a fable is a short story that teaches a lesson.
2. For grades K–3, read the fable “The Crow and the Pitcher”
to students. For grades 4–5, distribute copies of the fable for
students to read individually or with the whole class.
3. Ask students how adding one pebble at a time, again
and again, helped the crow.
Part B
Prep You need a clear container filled
halfway with water and some small rocks.
1. Challenge students to guess how they
can get the water to flow over the top
without tipping the container or adding
more water.
2. When a student answers that they could
add something to the container, place a
rock in the container. Ask: What
happened? Confirm that students see that
the water level rose.
3. Have volunteers continue to add rocks
to the container until the water reaches
the top.
4. Have students describe what happened.
Explain that this process is called
displacement. Displacement occurs when
an object pushes water out of the way.
5. Wrap up by asking students to explain
how small actions, such as putting one
rock at a time into the water, can have a
big impact.
6. Lead a discussion about how this lesson
relates to saving money. Say: Taking little
steps—like saving small amounts of money
—can help you reach big goals over time.
