Okay, maybe beautiful isn't the word, but it was pretty fascinating. Some kids traded, once, twice, three, or more times! It was exciting to watch items change hands and see who ended up with what. Some kids slowly traded their way to their ultimate prize. Other students realized they didn't want what was being offered and took home their original objects. Overall, Barter Day was a huge success. Kids learned about value, currency, communication, and standards of trade.
Don't forget our March 30th field trip. We will be heading to the Roanoke City landfill and then onto the transfer station. After both stops we will be heading to Alejandro's near CS for lunch. Please send in $5 or a lunch for your child between now and March 26th. If your child doesn't want to eat at Alejandro's feel free to send in a lunch. On the day of the trip all students should bring fruit break in a disposable container.
