We took a field trip to Owlsville this morning! Owlsville is a cardboard city that has been created in the third grade classroom. Third graders created businesses and took on roles including mayor, bank president, and city council members.
Each of the first graders was given $40 to spend in Owlsville. They could choose how to spend their money. This fit right in with our recent work with money, as students had to make sure they had enough money for their purchases and ensure they received the correct change. Some students bought origami creations or flowers. Others rented books. There was an arcade to visit and a decorate-your-own pillowcase station. We loved our visit to this exciting city! Thank you for inviting us, Mrs. Green, Mrs. Stockwell, and third grade students!
