Mr. Martin’s Classroom

Well, we are about to be into 2007 and we need to spend a little money!

Here is your assignment.

You have been giving $5,000 to spend for the holiday season. Over the next three days your will be working on ways to spend that money. You will need to spend every penny of your $5,000 to get full credit. Sound fun? Keep reading!

As you spend your money you will need to keep track of where it goes using the paper that Mr. Martin gave you. You will need to write down the name of every object, along with how much it costs. You will also need to write down WHERE you are buying it from. For example, click here to see an object that you could buy.

Here is what I would write on my sheet.
Under what was the item: 1,000,000 Books for needy children.
Under how much: $25
Under Location: Universal Giving
Under Who is the gift for: Sierra Leone’s Children

Pretty simple right? Now if the far column you will need to keep a running total of how much you spend.
There is one catch for this assignment. YOU CANNOT SPEND ANY OF THE MONEY ON YOURSELF! ALL OF IT MUST BE SPEND ON SOMEONE ELSE. This can be brother, sisters, mothers, fathers, grandparents, friends, charities, teachers Anyone but yourself.

I am going to include some places to find items on the page titled Spreading Cheer. Good luck and happy shopping!

On Friday, y’all have earned a pizza party!  :)  Our classes have earned over 300 points EACH!  Everyone in class has passed at least 6 tests!  Mr. McNutt and I are very proud of all of you hard work!  Thanks for working so hard.

With that being said, I thought we could have a little fun.  Lets learn about that famous pizza that we know and love.  Visit the Pizza Party Page to complete this Math activity.  Good luck and happy eating!
