Candy Cane Court Part II

Fridays sales for candy cane court didn't go so well.  Everyone wanted to buy Anthony's airplanes but his teacher will only allow him to sell them after school.  There is no time for him to sell them after school and by the end of the day, the kids have spent their money on other things and don't have any left.  He did sell some rice krispie treats Friday during his recess but holding a tote of goodies and trying to deal with money at the same time I'm sure was difficult......But we had a plan.  His teacher let him do a little selling during snack time at class, but again she would allow him to sell his most popular items because she considered them to be either candy or toys, two things she doesn't allow in class.  I understand this, but at the same time, how is he supposed to sell his items if he's not being given the same opportunities as his peers from other classrooms.  Today  I met Anthony at school with a table so he could open his tote and put his items out to display and hang a sign.  He had a lot of traffic, but still most 3rd - 5th graders don't bring money to school.  I kept him company and helped when he had a lot of customers at once.  He did awesome.  He sold some ninja stars that he made, and some snacks and some Lego crayons.  His biggest seller was the soda candy canes.  He sold nine.  On the way home from school I stopped to get another box and some Sour Patch Kids candy canes.  So far Anthony has made $16 for school.  $4 yesterday and $12 today.  I think he was pleased.  Tomorrow Grandma is going to bring the table again and help him sell.  I hope he has a good day again.
