Thank you for teaching this to us. This taught me to save up my money and not to waste it. I would also like to thank you for teaching us the dream board. It helped me decide what to be when I grow up. I enjoyed the dream board and it was fun to do.

Thank you. One thing I will take with me is how I should plan good habits. One thing I enjoyed was the work sheets. They were really fun. One other thing that was fun was the dream board. When I move, I will put the dream board up beside my bed. That way I will look at it every morning and night.
