[Currency, Monday, Banking educational opportunities]

Anyone know of any great resources for teaching your kids about how money works? Our bank will offer a field trip but what about money-production, credit cards, debit cards and history of currency?

[Recommended Typing Program?]

We use Typing Instructor for Kids. It was kinda pricey, but had the best reviews. I would also recommend buying a skin (cover) for the keys so they can't peak.

 

oh i like the recommendation of buying a skin...never thought of that. Thanks!

[Recommended Typing Program?]

I am looking for a reputable typing program for my rising 2nd grader. I've seen several online that are free but my concern is commercials and pop-ups. We don't yet have an internet filter (he's our oldest and hasn't begun to use the web independently yet). Trying to figure if its best to invest in an internet filter and then use a free typing program or just buy one to load on our computer. Any recommendations?
