All kids are motivated differently! Mrs. Aslin gives out points for good behavior. One of her students has been saving up points all year so he could earn a chance to put a pie in her face. Way to keep it fun Mrs. Aslin!
Thank you Mrs. Turner for sharing more JA Biz town photos.

Our fifth, sixth, and seventh grade students all get to go on a field trip to JA Biz Town each year. During the trip students role play careers, balance budgets, earn JA bucks, spend money, and practice communication and critical thinking outside of the classroom. This trip has been free for our students annually. If you are looking for an organization to support this one is highly recommended by Mr. Miller.
