One morning a week I help Isaac's first grade teacher run a little store in her classroom. The store is cool and I really enjoy watching the kids develop every week and I get to know them better.
The kids practice counting, adding and subtracting cardboard money. They earn money all week for good behavior, perfect test scores, etc. Kids can lose money too. If you are bothering your neighbor they can charge you 5 cents for talking or taking stuff without permission.

How fun! No wonder kids today are so smart. Its due to teachers, parents and little sisters going to the trouble of making school so fun. It is one thing for teachers to come up with exciting ideas, but it takes parents willing to give of their time to turn those ideas into reality. Way to go. Thanks for sharing these great ideas with us.
In the very bottom picture I saw the sign on the wall but the "L" is yellow and not easily seen. So I was thinking, "Oh No! Not a Coors sign in 1st grade-- Wisconsin takes their brewski a little too seriously."
Good eyes! It looks like that got Ariel's attention too. (I thought Coors was made in Colorado.)
