Classroom Store!

Help me give my students their own personal classroom store to practice counting money and making change!

My Project

Hi everyone!! Growing up my Elementary school teachers always had classroom stores and I want to give my students the same thing!

Help me give my students a classroom store to teach them how to count money and how to make change!

I think it is SO important that students learn at a young age how to count/make change with money because it is something that we use every single day! The items that I have listed will not only benefit our classroom store, but it will also be a motivator for students to be on their best behavior to earn their “cash”.
