Donations to the Economy
Tag: Classroom Economy
Last Auction of the 24/25 School Year
Thank you to all the companies and families who generously contributed to our classroom economy. One of the goals of this system is to instill the habit of saving and thinking long-term, rather than seeking immediate gratification. Our final auction truly reinforced this value—some students walked away with quite the haul!
First Donations of 2024-2025
Our first donations have arrived. There are a lot of great items, and earning the money to purchase them is largely based on following the school-wide expectations of being Responsible, Respectful, and Safe.
First Auction of 2024
We completed our first classroom auction of 2024. Thanks to all the companies who are supporting this outcome and ensuring the students have items to bid on.
Our First Classroom Auction
After paying rent, students participated in our first classroom auction. This was a chance for the students to use extra money they have earned, through academic and social citizenship, on items donated from a number of companies.

Donations for our Classroom Economy
Donations for the classroom economy have been arriving since June. These will be auctioned off throughout the school year to students who take seriously the goals of our classroom: be nice and work hard.
Donated Items for our Classroom Auction
We have been receiving donations all summer from companies interested in helping with our classroom economy and our auctions. Lots of great stuff has been shared and we are fortunate to be getting these things. Look through what has been donated and consider saving for those things that interest you most.
Ending the Year with a lot of Fun and Learning
We packed a lot into our last week of school in 2016. We had our classroom holiday celebration, auction, white elephant book exchange, Polar Express presentation, beeswax candle making, and we even found time to watch a movie. All of the aforementioned did not get in the way of making sure we also learned a lot including more work with fractions, a careful study of theme and point of view, and a project based learning task in which students constructed their own Maker Space.
What we were able to accomplish in 2016 proved pretty amazing and I look forward to what we do in 2017.
Fall’s Hard Work Culminates in Auction
After paying rent, we had our second auction of the school year. It continues to impress me that international companies are so generous with our community. Although they don’t know me, and in most cases have no ties to Reno, they see value in promoting financial literacy in our elementary school classrooms.
