T&L Bank of Rosholt

The T&L Bank of Rosholt provides the students in our classroom with hands-on activities to learn math, business, and decision making skills. A local carpenter built the bank for our room. At the beginning of the year, a loan officer from the local bank spoke to us about deposits, withdrawals, interest, savings books, and bank careers. T-L Bucks are earned sporadically throughout each week for following rules, showing "above-the-line" behavior, neatness, and being responsible. Each Friday afternoon, we get an opportunity to visit the T&L Bank. We give our money to the banker (one of the students in our class), and the money is put into our savings accounts. Quarterly interest is calculated every nine weeks. We withdraw money from our accounts once a quarter for our classroom auction.
