Our Classroom Economy

Since the first week of school, students have been actively involved in a year-long economy unit in which they earn credits and debits. The activity is cross-curricular since students are learning major economic concepts, as well as using math skills on a daily basis.

Throughout each week, students can earn credits for any number of things. For example, students who hold classroom jobs each week earn credits on a daily basis according to our agreed upon payroll. Credits are also earned sporadically for following rules, showing good character, putting extra effort into school work, and being responsible. Debits are given to students when they break laws (classroom rules) in our community of learners. At the end of each pay period, students add up their credits and subtract their debits to calculate their weekly total.

 

If you are looking for books that are "just right" for your child, there is a link on the right side of the page called "Scholastic Book Title Search". Just click on this site and type in the title or author of the book, and hopefully, you'll find out the level of that book. Remember, if you are having trouble with the site and don't know if the book is right for your child that you can perform the 5 finger test. Have your child read 100 words out loud to you. If he/she has trouble with 5 or more words then that book is too hard. Your child should struggle with 2-3 words in order for the book not to be too easy or too hard.

Please make out one check to "SCHOLASTIC BOOKS". Please no cash.

Remember that you can order easily online too!
