Earning Pennies for Market

The Yellow Pod will be having a market in April. We will be making ocean items to sell to other classes. The children will also have a chance to go to the other classes to buy items that they have made.  The children will have an opportunity to earn pennies for the market. We have been learning about banks and money. We read Bennie’s Penny’s, Curious George Saves His Pennies, and Ben’s Saving’s Account. We brainstormed ways that the children can earn money at school. We also brainstormed some fines. The children have to give me pennies if they get a fine. We created a bank in our classroom.
