Second Grade Shops

We ended our economics unit with a culminating activity we termed "Second Grade Shops."  Students had to open a shop for their peers.  They learned about being producers and consumers as well as all about economic choices that had to be made.  Some of the most popular shops in all of the classrooms involved food and paint!

Everything Is Awesome!

We did it big this time...a trip to LegoLand!  Although Atlanta traffic tried to scare us away with two road mishaps between the time we planned the trip and our arrival date, we made it safely and were only a few minutes after our estimated arrival time.  We rotated through seven different areas while we were there and were awed by each one.  I think all the students left thinking, "Whoa.  I want to come back here!"  We didn't get to see if all so it's worth a trip back.
