The SOLAR Class Store

We are proud to introduce you to Miss Russell and Mrs. Shall's classroom commerce system. Students earn $2.00 each day for class attendance, and can earn additional money for doing class jobs, being respectful and helping a classmate in need, and for being hard working school citizens.  Students deposit their daily funds in their class bank book, and can spend their money by buying or renting items from our Class Store which opens on a weekly basis. In addition, because the store is set up to reward good choices, there are also fines which are sometimes paid for forgotten homework or not treating others respectfully. In those instances, students withdrawal money from their class bank book.

Last week, students who wanted to become store clerks submitted their job applications. From those applications, two students were selected to run the Class Store and two students were selected to run the Game Room this week. The students earned $10 for working. 

During this store time, students could purchase or rent items. The process was fun for students and interesting to watch. Some students were content with saving their money for more expensive purchases in the coming weeks, others strategically spent some of their funds, and others went for broke and enjoyed every moment of their reward time. If you have a child that participated in Class Store, we hope they shared their excitement with you. Listed below are samples of some of the things for purchase and rent.
