Rafe Esquith is the California Teacher that Wrote "Teach like your hair is on fire" and "No Shortchuts". I got my economy system from him. I LOVE what he does with his 5th grade class!!!!!
I actually have an economy system in my classroom that I adapted from his book. My kids love it the practice not only math and social studies, but they get a taste of the real word. I would admit is a lot of work to keep up with but is sooooo worth it. :)
If anybody wants to read the books, I have both :)
My kids of yours loved the monetary system...I am interested in getting on board this year. :)
