Gr.3-Classroom Jobs

Classroom Jobs
Ensuring that students take an active role in maintaining the classroom
I assign classroom jobs on a rotating basis.


Every day students hold jobs in the classroom community.  Each job is a paid position, and students receive credits in their accounts that cna be cashed in for Oliver Dollars (our classroom money) at the Oliver Bank every other Friday.
