The 1st graders are learning about money at school. All month they've been earning paper money for turning in homework and library books on time and for whatever else they do. So far she's earned about $100 to spend on Business Day. The kids buy a business licence from their teachers and can sell anything they want. Kalyssa is selling pencils for $0.50, homemade necklaces for $5.00, and candy for $1.00 each.
She did awesome! She sold out on everything... and made about $150. She spent about $30 of it buying super balls, bracelets, playdough, suckers and pencils from other kids. One kids was selling gold fish, but sold out before Kalyssa got one. She was bummed. I think she learned a lot and had lots of fun. At the end of the month the kids will spend all their money to buy stuff from the teachers.
