Financial Literacy for Fourth Graders!

Help me give my students supplies to create their Mini-Society Market Day products.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sugimoto's classroom raised $594

This project is fully funded

My Project

This year grade 4 is finally able to reintroduce our Mini Society token economy back to our students. Students work hard all year on this hands-on experience.

Mini Society is a special program that grade 4 uses to teach our students all about economics and financial literacy.

Students earn their own money through paydays and bonuses and also pay rent and fines. At the end of the year our students use their money to open up their very own business selling handmade products or creating and manning handmade games!

Please help me give my students supplies to create their products and games. They will need origami paper, popsicle sticks, clothes pins, magnets and containers to create products such as bookmarks, magnets, decorated pins and pencils and pens.
