for additional supplies. This means that the students receive a net pay of S3O each payday. The students are given the option to place their earnings in a savings account. Nothing is free in second grade. Pencils cost sl, with an additional $1 for a pencil-top eraser. Fines are also a possibility for Woodview secondgraders. When a student breaks a certain rule, he or she receives a punch on a ticket. Running in the hallway merits a speeding ticket of up to sl. A condemned desk and failure to turn in homework earn the same fine. There are also $5 fines for fighting, bad language and any incident needing Principal Alan Thompson's attention.

upbeat and exciting, people are laughing and smiling." She plans to use the entrees she prepared for weeknight dinners. "They'll make easy, fast meals," she said. "I can't wait to make them." Entree Vous does all the prep work slicing, dicing, chopping, peelmg, blending sauces and marinades from scratch. Everything guests need, from recipes, to pans, to labels, to packaging, is right there, including bags to bring meals home. A label on each entree tells exactly how to serve it and even suggests to accompany it. "Our use of fresh ingredients, homemade sauces and recipes created by a Le Cordon Bleu-trained chef is what sets Entree Vous apart," Hille said. "I researched other companies using similar concepts but found there was no comparison in taste and quality."

In the future, possible fines may include $5 for sloppy or poor work and $5 for library fines or a misplaced savings book. At the end of each month, teachers and volunteers convert the story room into a market where students tnay use their hard-earned salaries to shop. Most items for the market are donated by parent volunteers. Students may also go into business, either by themselves or through partnership with another student. Mini-economics extends beyond the confines of the second grade classroom. "We try to take in all aspects of our community," said Leavitt. This includes field trips to the Mayor's office, a trip to the police and fire departments and a day at Amish

Acres. They also visit Little Paws Playground and the pool at the very end of the year. Woodview held its monthly Market Day last Friday, Jan. 26. Students first paid any fines that they had acquired at a table set up specifically for that purpose. Parent Volunteer Angie Stillson and her daughter, Cybil, 3, were in charge of collecting money for each student's fines. According to Stillson, the students will often set goals for themselves concerning their fines. "One boy had only four and now he's going for two," she said. This pay period, Phillip Borkholder, 8, had no fines to pay. Borkholder explains how he was able to accomplish this.' "If you talk (in class), then you will get fines," he stated. "If you don't talk, you won't get fines." For each offense, students receive one punch on their card, which in turn is worth $1 of the mini-economics currency. After paying their fines, the students had to pay their bills and their taxes. Finally, they were permitted to go down to the market to shop. However, not all of the students chose to spend their hard-earned money. Some, like Summer Stillson, prefer to save it for something big. "'She's saving up to have lunch with the Mayor," Stillson explained. This will cost Summer S2OO in mini-economics money. "I have $120," she said. Aside from the smaller $3 and $5 items available in the market, the students may save for much bigger things. For example, an extra recess costs SSO. Participation in a special second-grade game night costs SIOO. Lunch with a favorite teacher can also cost up to SIPO. The most costly though rewarding goal is a day as a teacher's assistant for S3OO. Next month, it will be the students' turn to run the market. They will have the opportunity to go into business

together or form a partnership. Students may sell a product, like pencil holders or hand made jewelry. They may also offer a service, such as shoe shining or desk cleaning. "It's a way for the students to take over the market, for them to become entrepreneurs," said Clark. Students who form a partnership must learn to divide their profits. As in real life, there are expenses attached to owning a business. Students must pay for their own advertising an supplies, as well as rent for the space where they will set up their business. Each teacher takes ownership of the program, bringing their own unique twist. For example, Leavitt has her students submit resumes for various jobs within the classroom, such as making sure all locker doors are closed and keeping books in order on the shelves. Leavitt also has special two for one sales on supplies like pencils and erasers. "It's motivational for the students," said Principal Thompson. Thompson often takes part in the program, helping where necessary. Clark, Leavitt and other second grade teachers expressed their appreciation for the parent volunteers. "Parents are a big part of this," said Clark. "It just runs like a well-oiled machine. It's neat that the parents get so into it." "We were totally amazed by our parent volunteers," said Leavitt. It was Clark who first approached the other Woodview second grade teachers with the idea. "I said, 'we're going to do this,"' she said. Clark had attended a workshop last summer, where she met Kathy Heyse, a teacher from Oxbow Elementary School, which is part of the Concord school corporation. The program is endorsed by the Indiana Economics Association.
