Let's learn about idioms!
In English, when children ask for things that cost money, we say, "Money doesn't grow on trees." That means you have to work hard to earn money, so it's valuable and we should be careful about spending it.
In Spanish, you might hear: "El dinero no cae del cielo." (Money doesn't fall from the sky) and it means the same thing.

Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
Summary: Students will write a short story about what would happen if money grew on trees. Key vocabulary/skills: knowing that "Money doesn't grow on trees" is an idiom that means money is limited and must be earned through hard work and effort. It's used to warn people to be careful with their spending, and is often used by parents with young children who don't understand money's value. This is meant to correlate with district curriculum when learning about money, spending and saving and idioms.
