Let's Learn Need VS Wants

Yeehaw, partner! It’s me, Bud! I’ve got a BIG dream – becoming a cowboy and owning a horse! But, uh-oh, my allowance isn’t anywhere near enough to buy one! Luckily, my best friend Annie is teaching me all about needs versus wants, and she’s got some clever ideas to help me figure it out! But what does that even mean? Well, you’ll have to watch to see what happens next!

Bud Goes to Space Camp

Blast off! It’s Bud! My class was headed to space camp, but I didn’t have enough fuel (aka money)! So, I earned it—mowing lawns, washing cars, and saving every penny. When I got to camp, it was out of this world! The simulators were amazing, but the best part was meeting Sheldan, my camp buddy who has cerebral palsy. We did everything together! But when it was time to spend my savings, I made a choice that made this mission unforgettable… but you’ll have to watch to see how I earned, saved, spent, and gave! You don’t want to miss this adventure!

Bud Visits Gulf State Park

Hey, it’s Bud! My family and I are camping at Gulf State Park, and Lil Al came along for the adventure! We’re learning all about borrowingsharinglending, and caring, but things got tricky when Lil Al broke my toy robot! We also discovered cool stuff like recycling and rain chains—and YIKES, we even got chased by an alligator! It’s been one wild trip, and when it’s time for Lil Al to go, I’m not sure I’m ready to say goodbye. You don’t want to miss this camping adventure—it's packed with surprises!
