SECOND GRADE MARKET DAY
Dear Parent(s),
Second graders are currently studying Economics
“the science that deals with the making, distributing,
selling and purchasing of goods and services”.
On Wednesday, March 28, 2018, students will have a
wonderful opportunity to participate in “Market Day”.
This will be a great way to help students get a
understanding of economics by creating a business plan,
producing a good or service and selling it to
their classmates in a “market place” setting.
Market Day will be a fun and exciting activity that will
give students a hands-on experience of how the
economy works.
