See Our Museum Grow....











Today we added our 106th item to our museum. Our Goal is 125 items to add, because it is the 125th Anniversary of Coca-Cola this year 2011!! We are getting there! We now have 8 desks covered with Coca-Cola items! It is interesting to here what people can find, who gives them things and what people are giving to us to add to our museum at school!! It is excited when some one brings something it. We really liked Nathan's light up cooler that is a water fountain. What will come our way next??

Debit or Credit?



A few days ago we had two people from teachers credit union come and teach us about how to write a check.... we also learned about.....


  • credits

  • debits

  • how to save and spend

  • the important skill of balancing

It was interesting and many of learned that things cost a lot more than we think that they do. Some things we don't even realize we will have to pay for some day. It was interesting and hard at the same time. We also learned that math is very important to everyday life!
