Last week we talked a lot about wants and needs, earning and saving money as well as buying and spending it. We read the story: Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday and quickly discovered that he was not very good at saving his money. Think about the story. Why did the author write this book? What was her purpose or LESSON she wanted her readers to learn as they heard Alexander's story? You can listen to the story again to help you with your response. Make sure you use evidence from the story in your answer. Use DETAILS.... remember, a one sentence response isn't enough! I can't wait to read your posts! | |

The author is telling the reader how to save money and how important it is to save your money. The author teaches the reader that if you save your money you can buy things that you really want. The author also teaches the reader the difference between wants and needs. Just because you may want something doesn't mean that you need it.

alexander was not saving his money for what he really wanted, he was just spending so that means you should always save your money for something you want the most.

The author wanted us to learn to save our money and think about what we really, really want. Alexander bought three packs of bubblegum, made three bets, and bought a melted candle, one-eyed bear, and a deck of cards. He didn't really want any of these things. He ended up with only bus tokens, but he really wanted a walkie talkie.
