If you haven't already received how our classroom economy will work in the take home packet here it is:
Setting up a
CLASSROOM ECONOMY
is a great
way to teach Arches Academy’s students about
MONEY and ECONOMICS while REWARDING
them for make good choices!
Coming to school is very much like
going to a “real” job. Each day employed
parents are expected to “show up”, be on time, wear the required attire, abide
by certain rules, and perform to their employer’s expectations. Parents can then expect to be paid for their
hard work and are even eligible for Bonus’ when their performance meets or
exceeds expectations. Likewise, your children will earn an income
for attending school, following the classroom rules and doing their best in
school. The students will even be
eligible for BONUS’ and RAISES. They
will earn their wage daily and will be given the opportunity to either save
their earnings for “expensive” goods and services or purchase goods and
services right away every Friday. Just as our “real life” economy changes so
will the economy in our classroom. At
times goods and services will cost more or less depending on the supply and
demand of those items.
I
will be providing a can good can for each child. This “can” will become their “bank” and will
sit at their place.
The
“bank” will be coming home with your child.
Please decorate the “bank” and return it the next day.
Your child will be responsible for
keeping track of their money and knowing how much they have to spend. We will be employing all of their current MONEY SKILLS and quickly acquiring news
skills as we progress through the year.
This is a positive reward system and
money will be awarded:
Ø Each time they attend school
Ø Each time they follow the classroom
rules
Ø Each time they do their best.
I will NOT be taking money away from them for misbehaving. The student simply won’t earn as much money as
the classmate who does what is asked of him/her.
Donations to support the Goods and
Services that will be
available to your children in our Classroom Community are
welcomed!
