The students were amazed and said that their families spent much, much more than that each week. One student's school lunch here costs $1.00 a day so just that would be $5.00 for the week much more than all Carmen's family's expenses. The students thought of all the other expenses that their families had each week. * renting or buying a place to live * food * clothing * electricity and gas (heating and cooking) * paying for hobbies * cars * phone bill * water * some have cable TV * taxes Sincerely, Mr. Phillips's Third Grade from Kanawha School in Davisville, West Virginia Next message: Jay Phillips: "Challenge Question #5" Previous message: Theresa Jensen: "Challenge Question#5"
