Being in year round school {we're in school until July}, this time of the year is very difficult for my students {and me too}. The traditional schools are already out of school for summer, the weather is great, and we all have "summer fever"...which makes for a little stress on my behavior management. The behavior of my students always takes a slight step back. Since it takes a step back, I guess I'll have to step.it.up! Talking to teachers on my team, they told us that at the end of the year, they start a money management system by giving school money out to students who are following the expectations. Then they have a class store/party {we'll have parent volunteers donate items and their time} at the end where they can buy things. HALLELUJAH! It's exactly what we needed {me and my teammate who works on the same track as I}. So, I ran with it and started creating! I created a packet to explain the money management. I know some of you are out of school already, but print it and save it for next year! This could work for any grade level {I'm using it in 1st grade}.
Here are a few things from the packet...

Supplies need for end of the year class store:
Labels {use Avery 5160} for your "Wallet" {it's a ziplock your kiddos put their coins in}:
If you would like the labels that go on the ziplock baggies {Wallets}, you must click {here}.
I could not get those little guys to format in my packet!
