Credits/Debits (Responsibilities)

Each student will be a given a ledger book.  You will be given credits and debits during the week that will be calculated on Friday.  On Friday, after balancing your ledger, you will be given a paycheck for the money you have earned.  Money can be used at the 4^th grade store at the end of the month.

 

Each day there are opportunities to earn credits or debits.  You will need to take care of your responsibilities each evening and each morning.  If you have these items at school, you will be credited (+).  If you forget an item, you will be debited (-).
