Gift Shop

GIFT SHOP

About the program:

Your 2nd grader will  be involved in a real-life experienced based program known as "Gift Shop." This program will not only teach the students higher level math and economics skills, but will hold them accountable for the hard work they do in all subject areas as well as behavior.

How does it work? Your child will "get paid" for various assignments all week.  On Fridays, some parents will set up the "Gift Shop" so the students can spend or save their weekly earnings on "WANTS." WANTS include small toys, minimum candy, activity books, etc.

Throughout the week, your child may also need to purchase "NEEDS" for the classroom. NEEDS include school supplies that they will NEED to complete their assignments...glue sticks, erasers, pencils, crayons, dry erase markers, etc. This will teach your child to be responsible and care for his/her supplies. Just like in real life... if you lose, destroy, or use up your NEEDS, you have to buy new ones.

How can you help? We need items for the Gift Shop including new or slightly used toys as well as extra school supplies aside from the ones on the supply list. So you can clean out those toy boxes and send them my way at any time throughout the year as our supply gets low. I will keep you informed if we are running low on: glue sticks, pencils, crayons, markers, and dry erase markers throughout the year, too.

This is an AMAZING learning experience for your kids, packed FULL of not only 2nd grade skills and beyond, but skills that are necessary for their future. Even better, they will remember it forever because they will have SO MUCH FUN doing it.

If you would like to help out, please let me know!!  I could use as many hands as possible.  Gift shop times are on Fridays time TBA, UNLESS I HAVE TO CANCEL!  Cancellations can be due to excessive talking/misbehavior for the week (aka we lost all of our "giftshop" letters) or an event is occurring at the same time.
