Our Economics Fair was a huge success! I was so impressed with all of the products the kiddos made. It was evident that they thought about their target customers, worked hard, and were proud of their final product. We had crowds around our table as our shoppers poured in throughout the sale. Many of the kiddos realized that running a business is hard work, and that sometimes selling a product requires lots patience. In the end, I think everyone in our class sold out! After the sale, we returned to the classroom to count our money. That took a while to count all those quarters, dimes, and nickels! Our class alone raised $479! WOW! Third grade together raised $3,100. Many of the kiddos realized that running a business is hard work, and that sometimes selling a product requires lots patience. I know it was also work for parents as many of the kiddos needed a little assistance. Thank you so much for your support with this worthwhile learning experience. I appreciate your willingness to purchase materials and assist your child. In the next few weeks, we'll check out various environmental organizations related to habitat loss that we might want to donate to. Then, we'll vote as a grade level on one or two organizations. I'll let you know our final decision. The kiddos feel really good about being able to help make a difference for wildlife.
