In Social Studies, we started an Economics unit focused on the vocabulary consumers, producers, goods, and services. In our exploration of Economics, second graders had the opportunity to participate in their very own Market Day.
What better way to learn about economics than to actually try it out ourselves! Before our Market Day, we also celebrated a Service Day, where each student provided a service to other second graders (such as face painting or backpack cleaning). On Market Day, each second grade class produced two goods to sell. Our class produced Monster bookmarks and multicolored crayons. It was exciting as educators to see the real life connections students made when serving as both producers and consumers during our Market Day.
Have a wonderful rest of your Spring Bread, second grade! We are looking forward to having you all back soon.
