Classroom Economy Auction

Help me give my students auction items like various trading cards, squishmallows, books, fidgets, slime, small pet toys, jibbets, legos, and Bakugan figurines so my students can spend their hard earned classroom money.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Ching's classroom raised $437

My Project

This year the class is following the My Classroom Economy program. My Classroom Economy is a program that enables me to teach children financial responsibility through fun, experiential learning. It's a simple classroom economic system based on the idea that students need to apply for a job that contributes to our classroom community. By completing their job, they earn school "money" so that they can buy homework passes and bid on items at our silent auction. The class carefully put together a list of items they would be interested in receiving as their reward for all their hard work. Some of the items from their wishlist include: Pokemon, football, baseball, & soccer trading cards, animal toys like Pet's Alive, Squishmallows, key chains with figuriness, slime, jibbets, legos, fedgets, and Bakugan merchandise.

The students are working hard to earn their paycheck each month, so they may buy one of these prized items at our auction/class store!

By bringing real-world scenarios into the classroom, students see the impact of their decisions to save, spend, and budget. We would greatly appreciate your donation and support!
