Social Studies Link

Students played this interactive game at school and loved it!  They asked me to post the link on our classroom blog so they could play it at home.  Great practice for learning about economics!

Classroom Store

FYI-In social studies, we are learning about economics.  We have been learning all about money, goods/services, needs/wants, producers/consumers, etc.  In a couple of weeks, we are going to have our very own classroom store.  Your child has been asked to start thinking of goods they can make at home to sell at our classroom store.  Please do not go out and purchase goods from stores to sell.  Instead I would like for the students to make their own goods (please refrain from food items).  Some of the goods we are making in class include: bookmarks, homework passes, beaded jewelry, popsicle stick picture frames, games, fortune tellers, and pictures.  I would love for students to make some additional goods at home (ex. loom jewelry, homemade play-doh, etc.) The students seem very excited about this fun learning experience and I thank you in advance for your support.  Please send in all items by Wednesday, February 11^th.
