Classroom Economics

Our classroom uses an economic system where students earn money.  Students have jobs which are paid bi-weekly along with earning money for following the school and classroom rules.  At the end of each semester students are given and opportunity to spend their classroom money on auction items.  Auction items are new and used items that are donated to our classroom by parents and students.  We will be looking for your help to make this a successful learning experience.
