Ourselves

JA Ourselves uses storybook characters in read-aloud and hands-on activities to introduce the role people play in an economy.

Through engaging activities, young students learn about individual choices, money, the importance of saving and giving, and the value of work. The program also provides an introduction to Canadian coins and bills.

By the end of this program students will have a basic understanding of needs and wants, and the importance of working and saving money to meet those needs. This introduces students to the importance of becoming responsible consumers in their local economy.
