* In Reading, we will begin our new story,  “Alexander, who used to be Rich last Sunday”  on Thursday. This story is about Alexander who received one dollar from his grandma. Throughout the story it shows how he spends and wastes his dollar in only one week. He wants to save his money but does not choose to do so. When one week has past the only thing he has to show for it is a dopey deck of cards, one-eyed bear and some candy already eaten. He does not have anything neat or worthwhile after spending it and this is when Alexander starts to realize the importance of using your money wisely.
