Social+Studies

We are beginning our unit on Economics in Social Studies. During this unit your child will learn how the economy works, how taxes are collected and then used for services, and the basics for running their own business. One of the highlights of this unit is our yearly Economics Day. Each student will create a good or service they would like to sell in their very own store front located in our 3rd grade hall. They will be given the opportunity to sell their products as well as purchase some from other stores. We will be calling on parents to help so please keep your eye out for more information! HAVE FUN WITH THIS!

I am adding some pictures below to show you some examples of the various steps of this assignment. Look in their agendas and on the yellow paper that went home to learn more details and see due dates (there is something new due each week!)
