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.
The First Donations of the 2023-2024 School Year
In order to help with our Classroom Economy, a number of corporations have donated items. Thank you to Pebble Beach Company, Advanced Micro Devices, Applied Therapeutics, Calloway, First Independent Bank, Amazon, Farmer Mac, and AGNC Investment Corp.
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.
Donations to the Classroom Economy
Throughout the school year students will have opportunities to spend their money on items donated to the class. The number of things donated continues to grow and I cannot overstate how impressed I am when a company is willing to contribute to the culture of the classroom.
Our first auction will likely be in October after students have paid rent for use of their desks in September.
