Fifth
and sixth graders learned about the world of work and money by participating in Reality Day,
in cooperation with the
Greene County Extension
Office of The Ohio State University.
Students were
randomly assigned an occupation, education level, income, and children. With
their monthly incomes in hand, they visited various stations to purchase
housing, food, transportation, clothing, insurance, child care, etc.
Local
businesses and organizations, along with other volunteers, staffed the booths
and helped students with their choices during this simulation.
