Our First Auction

Emma – Yesterday we did an auction and we bet for things.  We earned fake money and we each got to pick one thing to bid on and the person with the highest amount won it.

Jolene – When it was our auction, the only thing I got was a blue small slinky.

Jessica – On November 6^th we had our first auction and I didn’t get anything, which I think is kind of good because then you get to save up your money. I had $35.05 and in the end I got to pick a pencil and I got a fuzzy pencil for free.

Taylor – Yesterday in the first 2 periods we had an auction and when the first picked something, I didn’t bid because I was waiting for something good and then when something was good I started to bid. I lost it because I didn’t have that much money.  Then after a couple of people, it was my turn so I picked some beads and some people were bidding and I got the beads.
