Based on great advice from me…Navy chose to be a banker for the Gold Rush today. She literally had to bring half the amount of stuff as a banker — and half the amount was still WAY too much! But the Gold Rush was rad!
They first hiked into the “mining town” with all of their gear.
Then all of the 49ers went mining on a nearby hill to find gold. When they found it, they turned it in to the bank for cold hard cash. (Navy’s part.) After all of the banking was completed…it was shopping time.
Because Navy was a banker, her team’s role was just at the beginning. The rest of the afternoon was her going from shop to shop to bargain and buy. Which she did. Someone asked her how she was such a good shopper, and I beamed with pride.
The fourth grade team does such a great event with this unit, and it ended Navy’s fourth grade year with a total bang!
