Our classroom mini-economy program has begun.
Students have applied to be in the fourth grade (ALL WERE ACCEPTED!!) and
have been assigned a classroom job. They are being trained for their new positions.
The students will be cashing checks, paying bills and IOU's, and earning bonuses. They will also open up a savings account. Students will have to make difficult spending decisions...should they buy items in the classroom store now, or save up for larger purchases in the future?
The success of the mini-economy program depends upon the quality of items that are for sale in our classroom store. We are always looking for donations, of new items. Suggested items include school supplies, games, stuffed animals, candy, craft items, and books. For additional ideas, just ask your child what they would like to see for sale in the classroom store.
Parent helpers are always welcome on any of the Store and Banking Days (usually
Friday afternoons). If you would like to volunteer to help, be sure to complete the volunteer form in the Curriculum Night folder.
