Classroom City

 

At Addison's school, they do a big project called Classroom City.  It is a few weeks of learning about community leaders, small business operations, buying and selling goods, supply and demand, etc.

The children need to come up with an idea of what they want to sell and produce it and then the "city" opens up for a certain time each day for the children to sell their wares and buy what they want from their classmates.  

Addison decided to sell musical instruments- specifically shakers.  She filled all sorts of different containers  that she decorated with beans and rices.

Each class also gets to vote for a class mayor and you know Addison was all over that.  She even campaigned!

She worked on handmade posters that said things like, "Don't be a betrayer...vote Addi for Mayor."  

She also handed out Dum Dums with stickers she attached that said, "Don't be a dum dum, vote for Addison"

Addison goes after what she wants in life, and she succeeded!

She was voted class Mayor.  And as Mayor, she chose the name of her class city.

And as mayor, you need to put on your poster the name of your city and that you are mayor.

So Addison has on the poster beside her :

Addison Boskovich:

 Mayor of Dykesville!

Her teacher this year is Ms. Dykes :)

 

 

Part of Addison's responsibility  as Mayor was to write and deliver a speech to all of the third grade classes.

 

She nailed it :)

 

And of course she needed to cut the ribbon to officially open Classroom City!

 

Way to go Addison!!
