Money Designs and job formation
The students have officially voted, and our class currency will be called Moonstones!They will follow the same denomination breakdown as U.S. dollars:
1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Moonstones
Attached is the money template we used in class. Students may:
Draw directly on the printed template OR
Import it into a design program
Please do not change the size of the billsAll bills will be printed on colored paper unless a full-color design is selected as the winner.
Preparing for Job Interviews
We are getting close to the interview process. Please help your child think about what jobs are needed in a functioning society. This gives them a chance to reflect on their strengths and interests.
Jobs the society has determined they need:
Banker
Assistant Banker
Paymaster (3–4 positions)
Money Cutter (helps safely cut printed Moonstones)
Janitor (2 positions – helps keep our society clean and orderly)
Set-Up Crew (2 positions – prepares materials and helps set up each class)
Flag Person (raises, lowers, and cares for the class flag)

Important Notes
More jobs will be added as needed as the society grows.
Some jobs may be removed if the society decides they are no longer necessary.
Students will be allowed to apply for multiple jobs but should choose their top favorite(s).
