Money Moves: Dollars & Decisions

About the Course

Story-based | N.S.8 | Especially for 6th grade

In Money Moves: Dollars & Decisions!, four middle-school friends dive into the exciting-and sometimes messy-world of entrepreneurship. Leon dreams of fixing skateboards, Beatriz designs bracelets, Cari launches a dog-walking service, and Amelia lends a hand in neighborhood gardens.

What starts as a fun school project quickly turns into real lessons about budgets, risks, savings, taxes, and even investments. Along the way, the students discover that earning money isn’t always easy, tough choices come with every business, and smart planning makes all the difference.

Blending storytelling with financial literacy, this engaging book shows young readers how money works in everyday life- through trial, error, and plenty of determination. Perfect for classrooms and beyond, Money Moves empowers students to think like entrepreneurs and make confident financial decisions.

Students should not interpret any examples or scenarios as recommendations to buy, sell, or hold specific securities or financial products. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Participants are encouraged to consult a qualified financial advisor or professional before making any personal investment decisions.
