Classroom
|
Our fourth grade class will be operating a mini-economy so that students learn how an economy works in a simplified model. The other goal is for students to be responsible and to learn how to run an successful economy- by each pulling their own weight. This in turn will help our classroom run smoothly and effectively.
Students will apply for classroom jobs (i.e. Electricians, Janitors, Secretary, Librarian) and will receive a pay check each week for doing their job. They will also have to pay bills (i.e. chair rental, desk rental, fines). Students may also receive bonuses (i.e. outstanding work, behavior, showing life skills, etc.) or fines (i.e. breaking rules, disruptive behavior, etc.). Students will have the choice to either save their money, or buy items out of the classroom store. Their will be a chance for the whole class to earn a bigger reward, in that each student will pay a certain amount to participate. |
