3rd Grade students recently held their annual Economics Fair. As part of their IB How We Organize Ourselves unit, they inquired into the central idea: Economic systems require decisions and choices that impact lives and communities. Students created goods or developed services and invited the school to come to their marketplace. Prior to the fair, all students wrote a business plan &developed marketing.
Students used Vocaroo to record radio commercials and shot a video commercial to air on our morning news program. Check them out!

3rd graders researched options for what they would do with the profits. Groups presented their ideas and then they voted on their favorites. This year they decided that their proceeds would benefit The Wounded Warrior Project and Austin Disaster Relief. Austin Disaster relief was chosen because they are helping with recovery efforts in West. The Wounded Warrior Project was chosen because there are several students that parents that are active in the military. In total, 3rd grade raised about $1500 from their fair for the community!
