3rd and 4th grade wrapped up an economics unit today. We celebrated by setting up "Jolly Rancher Stands." The sellers had to set prices that would entice the buyers to come to their shop. Students learned that when an item is in high demand, sellers have to adjust their prices in order to still make a profit.
Since tomorrow is the first Friday of the month, we will be celebrating with some First Friday Fun (FFF). Students are invited to join the fun by participating in a Spirit Day. This month, the Student Council members have chosen a sports theme. Students and staff are invited to dress in their favorite team's apparel (shirts, hats, etc.).
3rd and 4th grade had a spooky time designing and creating Haunted Houses. But, was anyone going to be willing to purchase their haunted house if it was for sale? They had to persuade sellers of how "sweet" their house really was!
