MARKET DAY!

Coltin's class had a Market Day.

I was able to volunteer and help out.

It was so much fun.

Each kid was given a profession with pay.

Then they had to go buy a house, car, etc.

They got to see how money doesn't grow on trees.

After they bought all the necessary things,

which included putting money in the bank.

They were able to go buy fun things,

like pets, skateboards, and even McDonald's.

I loved seeing some kids be frugal

and others blow right threw their money.

Coltin was a scientist. (see the weird scientist hair?)

After buying his house, car, and motorcycle.

He also bought a lizard and a EAGLE.

Really?

Then the kids got to count how much money they had left.

It was a great learning experience.

They also had a ton of fun doing it.

Coltin had $60.00 in the bank

and $20.00 in his wallet when he was finished.

He started out with $300.00 so I would say he did pretty good.
