Thursday, February 7th, was a day of much excitement as the second graders had their Market Day.  Market Day is the culmination of an economics unit in social studies, where the students are learning about the general ideas of wants and needs and how communities provide goods and services to fill those.  Students design a product that second graders may need, and after approval from their boss (Mrs. Q), they go into production making these items.  Market Day involves creating an open market atmosphere, where the entire second grade becomes producers and consumers!  Some students sold all of their product right away, creating a scarcity.  Other students eventually sold everything, and yet others, never sold out and had to put their items on sale.  Every group made a profit!  Thanks to all of the donations from parents!  It was a great day!
