Way to Go, MAVS! mr. moore's class enjoys their auctionMr. Moore's Grade 5/6 class held their monthly auction this week. As the students work through a month of classes, they earn "Moore Bucks" for the daily tasks they are assigned or lose Moore Bucks for those things they neglect to do. Each month they can put their money into action by bidding on a variety of items Mr. Moore puts up for auction. It is interesting to see how students use different strategies during this event. Fun is definitely had by all. Way to Go, MAV's! Comments are closed.
