We have established a mock economy system in our classroom. In this system, students can receive money by showing appropriate behavior, or they may have to pay back money for inappropriate behavior. We have discussed what these behaviors entail, and the students know what is expected of them for this economy system.

     The students are responsible fortaking care of their own hard-earned money.  They can save up and purchase awards for different prices. Some of these awards may include prizes from the prize chest, the chance to sit near a friend, or even the chance to eat lunch with the teacher! If they lose their money,it will not be replaced. It is their responsibility to take caution with their "wallet", and save up to purchase the rewards of their choice.
