This week we’re learning about cashflow, finances, money. We did a field trip to a toy store where we talked about impulse buying. Jasper made a purchase that was very impressive, by following the criteria that we came up with BEFORE entering the store. His criteria was 1) it had to cost less than 6 dollars, 2) it had to be small, 3) it had to be a quiet toy, 4) it had to be something he could play with inside of the bus or outside. It was very difficult finding just the right toy. Together, we judged each toy to see if it fit the criteria. Something seemed to be missing in each toy. Jasper was starting to get disappointed, but he decided to take one last look around the store. He returned to me excited, holding a Lego kit in his hand. It was 4.99, very small, quiet, and could be played with inside or outside the bus. Success!! 

We learned about the word “asset” on tuesday. an asset is something that puts money in your pocket. On wednesday we talked about “liabilities.” A liability is something that TAKES money out of your pocket.

We played the game “Cashflow for Kids” to review our new words.
