PBL Driving Question: Why do people work?
No Snack Day!
No Snack Day!
Entry Event: At snack time on one peculiar day in March, students realized that we had no snack in our snack bin and all of the other classes were having this same problem! We brainstormed ways to solve this problem and the kindergartners realized that we will have to work to earn money to buy snack. Luckily, Ms. Cartwright had work for us to complete in her office and we were able to earn money to buy snack from Mrs. Chang.
Ms. Cartwright allowed students to move boxes and organize paper in her office.
Ms. Cartwright gives her "staff" instructions.
Destiny is working hard as the class listens for our next assignment.
She looks through her coins so she will be able to pay us.
Pay day!
Owen is thrilled to receive his payment!
We counted our money as soon as we came back to class.
Thank you Ms. Chang for letting us buy snack from you with our hard earned coins.
