The students started a new neighborhood today...The Reserve. They earn their way into this neighborhood by NOT ARGUING with anyone else in class. This has become a major issue as of late, so to curb the arguing while we all await the mirage of spring break a new neighborhood has been formed that you can't buy your way into. Nope, you have to EARN your way into this neighborhood by being the best of the best. Since we are learning about the elite class in our Civil War social studies unit, we call the students who live in The Reserve "elite." So far this has had an incredibly positive effect in the classroom. The kids made a beautiful entrance sign for their neighborhood today. Congratulations to our first residents in The Reserve: Chet, Brooke, Aviana, and Laniah.
Two stores merged this morning to form quite the partnership. "Movies," a store specializing in concert production, merged with "Peggy's Popcorn" to sell concessions during class productions. It was a genius idea! Movies and Peggy's Popcorn racked up today! Way to go Carly, Greyson, Tyra, Aviana, and Laniah! These kiddos really have a knack for great business ideas. The class can't wait for the next concert! The Chamber of Commerce brought these two great business ideas together. More on our Chamber of Commerce in the next blog....
