5th Grade Auction!

Today was the day for the 5th grade auction! It is like a bidding. Pretend we were bidding for a picture frame:

Person in Charge of Bid (PCB): "Who would like to say the opening bid for this picture frame?"
Bidder: "$50!"
Competing Bidder: "$75!"
Another Bidder: "$150!!"
PCB: Anyone? Going once...Going twice...Sold!

And then, the person who said $150 gets to keep it. Here's what I spent, and what I have spent ON (of course, school paper money, not real money):

$3000 on 2 charm necklaces
$2300 on 3 bath bead test tubes and confetti eye mask
$3000 on vanilla swirl body lotion
$3000 on a $10 Walmart gift card
$700 on Wild Cherry Lifesavers, Hard
$0 on free sample of one Fireball
$0 on free sample of one package of Skittles
$5000 on A TELEVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you believe the last one?! You can earn money and bonuses by behaving, and turning in work on time. I did that for the whole school year, and you see what it got me?! I still can't believe it... I WON A TV!
