Scholar dollars are imaginary money.
Our class will have a “Scholar Dollar” behavior plan in place. Below is a list of the possible deposits/withdrawals. Each child will be given a transaction register to keep up with their imaginary money, which will be used to purchase items at the end of the month if they have earned and retained enough money. They will be balancing their registers on the last day of each week. (This will give them real life experience in adding and subtracting decimal amounts.) At the celebration they will have to add up their purchases and write a “check” to pay for them. (Another real life experience.)
