Going Once, Going Twice, Sold to the Highest Bidder

Help me give my students more items for the auction to really help them learn budget to their money.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Radtke's classroom raised $259

This project is fully funded

My Project

I have an year long economics unit in which the students have jobs, get paid, have to pay for the rent of their chair and utilities and can spend anything left over on a classroom auction. The students choose what type of items are in the monthly auction, so there is buy in.

The students are learning real life money skills for budgeting and financial responsibility.

How to plan ahead to have the money they want to spend at the auction or if they want to pay off their chair instead of bidding. They have checks they write and have to balance their checkbook.

The items I am asking for are for the auction by student request. Please help me get items my students want to make this a better learning experience for all. Thanks
