Check out the busy bears at BIS!
Students in Mrs. Kari Crouse' s 3rd grade class have been working on understanding the value of money, and adding and subtracting money and coins. Yesterday, the students were given an envelope with money and had to plan a full meal within their given budget. They had to count their money, determine the total cost of their purchases, and how much change they would receive.
Nice work, Bears!
