Mini-Society: Fourth Grade Financial Literacy Fun

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

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shinshiro's classroom raised $554

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 crafting paper, popsicle sticks, hot glue guns, glue and containers to create products such as bookmarks, ornaments, jewelry, and decorated pencils and pens.

Thank you so much for your support!

Mrs. Shinshiro Waiakea Elementary School Grades 3-5
