Mini Economy

We are off to a great start with mini economy. The children were assigned jobs for the week. They do their jobs at the end of the day and then they receive their pay for a job well done. On Friday afternoon the children will have the opportunity to visit Mrs. Catton's Kindergarten Store. They will have the opportunity to purchase from the store or they may choose to save their money until they have earned enough to purchase a more expensive item from the store. I am going to encourage saving. We got some really great items donated for the store- pencils,erasers, note pads, puzzles, books, play doh, matchbox cars, etc. Feel free to continue to send in items that you may run across when you are out shopping ( the dollar store is awesome especially after a holiday). I am really proud of how seriously the kids take their jobs!
