Miss Powell has been teaching the class a unit on Financial Literacy. We have been using a "Classroom Economy" where we earn money doing classroom jobs, pay weekly rent for our chair and desk, have opportunities to rent a stool for the day or shop at the classroom store every Friday. We have been using fake money to solve our math problem. We had two guest speakers from Valley First Credit Union come to speak to us about the importance of saving and how banks and credit unions work.
We also had a shopping game, where we took turns being shoppers and cashiers to exchange money for items. Comments are closed.
