POTTSTOWN — At the beginning, it was difficult to tell who was more nervous, the high schoolers standing at the head of the class, or the second graders sitting in front of them.
A few minutes into the lesson, it didn’t matter, elementary and high school students conversed easily with each other over a coloring book and plastic coins.
On Thursday, David Todd’s handpicked students from his Pottstown High School finance classes took a field trip to Edgewood Elementary to teach Tina Ludy’s students the value of money and the benefits of saving.
“Savings can start at a very small, lower level,” Todd said. “It can be saved up for something small but also for a car or an education.”
Ludy was happy to have Todd’s students in her classroom, saying that her students hadn’t covered money yet in their education.
“We will be working on money next,” said Ludy. “It was perfect because this is what we’re moving into.”
Ludy’s students worked singly or in pairs with each of Todd’s students. Using plastic change, the second graders worked on counting the money.
One boy declared to the
high schooler sitting in front of him that he had 39 cents.
