Santa's Workshop

We have been very busy in 1st grade.  We have been  little elves learning all about wants & needs & economics.  Students got to pick "jobs" they wanted and then worked on making their craft.  They then got paid for the work they did.  Their group had to make 21 of every craft & then we sold them on Thursday & they used their money to buy the crafts as presents for their loved ones.  They did have to save 5 cents for their movie ticket.  Which was Charlie Brown's Christmas, popcorn & a drink.  The kids really loved this economics lesson.  Here are some pictures to show what we made & bought. 

After we finished buying & wrapping we filled out our passports to take the Polar Express around the World.  We got our passports, maps, suitcases, & journals.  We are ready to conquer the world.  We already visited America on Friday!!!! 

Check out our pictures of what we have been up to!!!
