Borrowing and Lending

Activity 1: Borrowing Bills

Students explore the benefits and challenges of borrowing by examining how we check out, use, and return books from the library. Students will then examine ways to borrow items responsibly and create their own bookmarks with borrowing tips. Exploring strategies for sharing and responsible use of materials supports students in forming habits for success at school and home. Extend the discussion of sharing (lending) and responsibility (borrowing) throughout the year with a variety of cross- curricular independent and small group activities, including children’s literature, math stations, social studies activities, and more.
