Once a month we participate in a classroom store that serves as a positive reinforcement for the students. The students earn tickets on a daily basis and then record their earnings in a checkbook register of their own. This is a great opportunity to teach children about budgeting and recording information into a checkbook.

Store Dates:

Friday, October 2nd from 2:45-3:30

Friday, November 6th from 2:45-3:30

Friday, December 11th from 2:45-3:30

Friday, January 29th from 2:45-3:30
