My Project

Market Day is one of the most memorable experiences each year for our third graders! In our economics unit, students get an opportunity to plan, create, and “sell” goods and services to their peers and teachers, all while learning how the market economy works. They learn about needs & wants, goods & services, producers & consumers, then get a chance to earn pretend money that they can use to “buy” materials and create their business. Lastly, they participate in our grade level Market Day in which they use the pretend money to “buy” from their peers. No actual money is used in this project.

The materials in this project will help my students expand beyond just pipe cleaners & beads (although those materials are great too!), by giving them a wider variety of materials to work with.

Each year, we get a little bit better and a little more creative! I'm excited to kick off this unit and see what the amazing and creative minds of my third graders can do.
