The students are super excited.  We have set the date for our classroom store and they are busy earning money.  We will be having classroom store on Wednesday, May 27th.  The students earn money in our classroom for completing work, classroom jobs, etc.  The students then use the money they earn on store day.  Each student creates their own business.  They can make goods, offer services, or sell small trinkets and such.  The students may not go to the actual store to buy things to sell.  If they want to bring old trinkets that are no longer of value to them, they may bring those items to sell.  Examples would be small items from birthday party favors and such.  If the original value is more than a dollar, the students need to bring a signed note from parents in order to sell it at store.  Some ideas students have come up with are: paper origami, painted rocks, yarn bracelets, and such.  Once the students complete their daily work, they will have a little class time each day to work on their goods.  The students are really excited and working hard to gain a better understanding of money.
