3rd Grade Market

Submitted by trisha.olsen on

The third grade students became little entrepreneurs today for their 3rd Grade Market.  They had the opportunity to learn a little about commerce.  They have been earning and saving “play” money for good classroom behavior.  All the students offered some sort of goods or service.  Some of the items for sale were:  food, small trinkets and toys and an assortment of games to play, some even offered fingernail painting.   They each got to take the money they have earned and spend it anyway they want.  It was a fun and educational experience.
