KinderMart: Learning Life Skills Through Classroom Economics

Help me give my students merchandise to sell in their very own store!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Harrington's classroom raised $156

This project is fully funded

My Project

Welcome to KinderMart! In our classroom store, students will earn pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters through real work—cleaning up, completing tasks, and demonstrating responsibility. They will use this money to shop, save, and budget, gaining hands-on experience with financial literacy.

By running a toy cash register, making spending decisions, and practicing patience, students will develop essential life skills in math, decision-making, and work ethic.

In a world where real money is rarely used, KinderMart will provide a much-needed opportunity for students to understand the value of hard work and saving for the future.

With your support, we hope to launch KinderMart in March 2025. Your generosity will help provide classroom store items to make this project a success. Thank you for investing in our young learners!
