Our Classroom Economy
Every day the students show up to “work” they
will earn $2. They will have a job that will pay
weekly. They may also earn money for good
behavior. At the end of the week they will pay $3
in rent. They can be fined for poor behavior,
messy desks, or lost supplies. Once a month
we will hold a store where they can buy things
with their money.
