Economics Fair

 The economics fair was something Brilynn has looked forward to for a LONG time.  A few months ago they started earning nickels at school.  They would earn them for good behavior, good grades, acts of kindness but they could also loose them.  Brilynn was very diligent about earning and keeping her nickes.  She kept track and made sure she was the one to have the most money.  On the day of the fair, they set up their shops and started spending their money.  A lot of kids didn't have very many nickels so they had to sell stuff before they could shop.  Brilynn had plenty of money so she had her friends run her shop while she went on a Shopping Spree.  It was so fun to watch the kids wheel and deal with each other.  Brilynn was very cautious at first and wanted to make sure she got the best deal.
Brilynn made candy lei's.  They were a big hit and she ended up selling all 30 that she had made. 
 She even convinced the Vice Principal to buy a necklace.
 There was another class that was doing the fair with them as well.  They had to purchase a bus pass in order to go shop at the other classroom
 Each student also had to purchase a business license.
 It's a good thing I was there to help Brilynn carry everything home.  She was completely satisfied with her purchases. 
She made sure she bought things for all her sisters as well.
