Market Day

East Elementary 5th grade students just finished up with a 7 week long, checkbook unit. The students had to pay rent for their locker/desk every week & earned an allowance. Throughout the 7 weeks, students paid fines for "no name" papers, homework not done on time, having to go to their locker because they forgot something etc… They also had the opportunity to pick from the "caught being good" jar. This jar contained a variety of rewards ranging from money, to gum or soda, among other items. The checkbook unit ended with a "Market Day." Kids bought and sold items with fake money they had earned. It was like a huge rummage sale. The teachers also sold items that they had purchased specifically for this unit. A great time was had by all! The students learned the value of a dollar, and how to manage their money. The 5th graders actually asked if they could do this unit again before the school year ends….
