Shops

Shops are always so much fun.   We do quite a bit of academic "prep" before the big day.  We spend time learning about needs and wants, saving vs spending, interest, loans, and taxes!  When our two days of operating our shops were over, we counted our money, paid back our loans, paid our taxes and celebrated by "buying" a movie ticket and snack.  It is always fun to celebrate hard work!  Here are some pictures from Shops.  I will work on putting links to the commercials that the kids made so you can see them.  The kids were showing their keynotes during shops, but I don't want you to miss out on seeing their creative commercials!

We had quite the variety of creative shops...

from decorating donuts

to a bayblade challenge, 

 There was a lolipop tree

and a place to buy a bracelet to support your favorite team!

  

You could decorate a cupcake

and try your hand at ring toss.

Are you talented at shooting hoops?

 How is your aim?  Good enough to take down the target at nerf gun shoot? 

Beanbag toss is always fun....

Come spin the wheel to win a prize!

Here are some commercials you won't want to miss!  I think these these kiddos have star potential written all over!

Thanks so much for supporting shops this year.  It is an event that 3rd graders will always remember!
