As soon as the kiddos come into the classroom, drop off their backpack and get morning work materials they stand by their tables to start our morning song.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
As the students came in from lunch, there was a sign projected on the board ... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"DO NOT TOUCH THE SKITTLES!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Instant engagement. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I became a leprechaun who needed help estimating skittles for my party. Together we graphed our estimations. After we graphed, students got to open up and count how many were actually in their bag. Then we graphed the actual amount per bag. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(We are writing letters because we are really upset there isn't the same amount of skittles in each bag!) </div>
<br />
Students went back to their seats and graphed the individual colors using a bar graph.<br />
<br />
Group discussions.<br />
<br />
At the end we took it a couple of steps further and combined all of our class data!<br />

Welcome to Classroom Economy 101:<br />
<br />
Your classroom economy may not run exactly as mine does, but that's okay. Take the parts you like and what will work best for your students.<br />
<br />
I am going to answer a couple of questions I received about the way classroom economy runs in my class.<br />
<br />
First and foremost ... BE ORGANIZED. I have a binder with all of my classroom economy materials. At the beginning of the year, before school even starts, I have everything copied and ready to go. Visualize how you want this to look in your classroom.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>How do you run your classroom economy?</li>
</ol>
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan;">The beginning. </span>At the beginning of the year students apply for the job of their choosing. They are given an application that requires them to select their top three jobs and why they would be a good fit. Once hired, students are given a folder with all the necessary materials needed to complete their job. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan;">The fun beings.</span> Make sure ALL students are trained and know exactly what their job is asking of them. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan;">A few expenses. </span>Keep ALL the money is not something your students should be saying. Students will need to spend $500 monthly on rent for their desk. This is paid to the banker. Students also may get into trouble with the police officer and fined for not completing homework, misbehaving, etc. (this is not something I let the police officer control. I let the police officers know when someone needs a fine ticket written.)</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan;">I have money left over, let's go to Target. </span>You want to teach your students about being responsible with money. Once students have paid their rent, the rest is theirs to keep. I hold monthly auctions for students to spend their money. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan;">Auction.</span> DO NOT buy things to auction off in your classroom. Ask parent volunteers to bring in small dollar items. You can also auction classroom coupons (sit in teacher's desk, lunch with teacher, etc) Here is where most of my students go wrong. The first auction they GO crazy, and I let them. They end up spending ALL of their money and when it comes time for next month's rent, they can't afford it. What a great life lesson! If a student cannot afford rent, he/she does not participate in the auction the upcoming month. He/she also has a negative checking balance. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan;">Savers.</span> I admire these kids. Maybe one day I will be able to save my money instead of spending it all at Target. So Sally has decided to not participate in ONE auction and she has tons of money saved up. At the end of the year, I award the kids who have saved money with certificates and food (normally a sonic drink because it's super close to school and what kid doesn't feel cool walking around with a ROUTE 44 cherry limeade.) However, you can choose to celebrate these kids with whatever your heart desires. You may want to throw a "Saver's party." </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="background-color: cyan;">Day to Day.</span> Every day students complete their job. Once a month, we take about 30 to 45 minutes to get everyone paid and rent paid. This is a BIG day for your bankers. You may want to do the first couple of months together, one step at a time. If a student needs to withdraw or deposit money into their bank, this can only be done after they complete morning work or at the end of the day. Model how to fill in the bank log, the rent log, deposit/withdrawal forms, etc. Have a central location in your room where these items are located, so students know where to get extra forms. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
How often are kids paid?<br />
<ol><ul>
<li>Once a month. The banker writes the paycheck and pays each kid in their group. </li>
</ul>
</ol>
Do you give extra money to kids?<br />
<ul><ol>
<li>YES, I'm like Oprah. Just kidding, kind of. Whenever I see a student going above and beyond, BAM - here's $100. It's like the classroom management gold mine. Students also can earn extra money by making good grades. </li>
</ol>
</ul>
Do you have jobs for all your students?<br />
<ul><ul>
<li>Yes, everyone needs a chance to earn money. If they are not completing their job we may need to have a conference and discuss what is happening, and possibly change jobs. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What do your students spend money on?</span><br />
<ul><ul>
<li>Auction items - read above. I also have super sweet kids. If they see someone struggling in the classroom, they give other kids money to help them out. This is also a teaching point. They need to learn in life that when they loan money they may not always get it back. Most of the time they aren't wanting it back, but just in case. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
</ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">How many copies of each type of money would you suggest printing?</span></li>
</ul>
<ul><ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;">You can always make more copies. You are going to need to keep your banker full of money. The banker needs enough money to pay 4 to 5 kids each month. I also keep a classroom bank opened with extra money. </span></li>
</ul>
</ul>

<br /></div>
<div>
My favorite line from love and logic - "I only listen to tattling at 7 in the morning and 4 in the afternoon." When they aren't around, of course. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
During the day if they feel I need to know something they have the opportunity to fill out an "express yourself form." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I check them every day after school. You can download the form we use <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Cg3arcicAAXy04X3loWk5obHM/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank">HERE</a>! </div>

I honestly think I struggled with word problems until I decided to become a teacher. WHY did no one ever teach me this amazing strategy? </div>

So many hours of my life could have been saved. Literally. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using this strategy in my classroom has saved me and my students heartache. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Any word problem we come across, CUBES is always the answer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First we circle all of the numbers,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
next underline the question, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then box in all of the key words.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After we have all of the key parts of the word problem identified, we evaluate the problem by drawing/working it out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The final step is to solve and check your problem. I always have my students write about how they got to their answer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If they can't tell me how they did it, they don't truly understand how to do it! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
