Elizabeth Haberberger’s fourth-grade students at Henderson Elementary School in St. Charles, Mo., earn weekly “paychecks” for jobs in the classroom, choose how to spend or bank their salaries. They soon will have the opportunity to put their savings to work at an end-of-year class auction, Haberberger said.
This teacher put a lot of time into making her classroom reflect the real world and a functioning economy! Great lesson for kids of any age!
