My Project

My students learn best when they can connect the topics to their daily lives. What better way to do that than with a classroom store? They will take turns running the classroom store which will include pricing the inventory and organizing the inventory plus keeping track of the inventory. They will need to learn about supply and demand. Plus they will be acting like customers as they spend their "cardinal cash and coins". "Cardinal cash and coins" will be earned every time someone meets or exceeds expectations in the classroom.

The classroom store will need to be equipped with real life items in order to connect to student's daily life.

I am asking for a variety of items that can be "sold" in the store such as candy and small toys in order to try to accommodate all students' interest. We plan to use the mobile storage cart to display our inventory.
