Celebrate Teach Your Children to Save Day
Money can be a complicated mess to deal with if you don’t know how to handle it. Teaching children how to value the money they have can be an essential life skill to have. By learning about money, people can be able to handle their finances better.
If children learn this, they will be ready to face the world. Teach Your Children to Save Day helps aid this educational prospect by allowing kids to learn new ways of handling and understanding money.
History of Teach Your Children to Save Day
Teach Your Children to Save Day provides bankers an opportunity to show the value of teaching children why saving money is essential, sponsored by the American Banker Association,
Teach Children to Save Day encourages parents to teach their children about money. This includes the value of what money can do for people, and how to start their savings. Throughout the day, bankers, financial planners, and other banking professionals travel to their local schools and teach students about money.
This includes saving, spending, donating, and investing money. By bringing this habit to children while they are young, they will be able to handle their money better in the future.
Bankers on this day are also given resources that contain promotion material. They also promote student activities, communication tools, and presentation lessons to cover topics involving money.
Parents can also find these resources through their local bank on this day. They can use them to give their child activities and learning materials to help parents bond with their children. Saving money can be the start to better education about money.
Especially once those children grow up and have to handle financial situations. These include things such as unexpected emergencies, loan payments, and other circumstances.
Optical Illusion Paintings By Rob Gonsalves
Magic Realism is a style of painting where reality is mixed with magic. Rob Gonsalves’ work (1959 - 2017) is categorized as Magic Realism. More specifically, his paintings have an autobiographical, symbolic narrative that invites the viewer into his beautiful mind where alternative realities exist at the same time. His work is a visual, human experience of quantum theory’s Entangled Spaces and Time.

Federal Reserve Bank Notes were banknotes issued by the
United States Federal Reserve between 1915 and 1934,
differing from Federal Reserve Notes in that they were backed
by one of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks, rather than by all
of them collectively. They were first issued in 1915 in
denominations of $5, $10 and $20, using a design that shared
elements with both the National Bank Notes and the Federal
Reserve Notes of the time. Additional denominations of $1, $2
and $50 were issued in 1918, a $100 note was designed but

Big Chipper, Finland
Europe’s biggest woodchipper, the black woodpecker, tosses out woodchips from the nest hole he has been fashioning. The hole is a major excavation, probably extending 60cm down into the trunk. The woodpecker’s chisel-like beak has a high-strength inner layer of bone and a flexible outer layer that helps reduce the shock of the vibrations. If the female finds the nest chamber to her satisfaction, she will lay two to eight eggs, which the pair take turns to incubate.
