We are fortunate to have a Junior Achievement volunteer coming to our classroom to teach the Second Graders about economics, community, and government. They have been having a wonderful time this week. Here are a few of the fun things we have done so far! In the first two photos they are playing a game of Team Career Tic Tac Toe. While playing students read and learn about different careers and the skills needed for those careers. The next photos show the second graders as workers at Sweet O Donuts. They first learned what it was like to try to make all of the donuts on their own. Then they worked in an assembly line. The compared which worked better. Two teams had better luck with assembly line work, while one team worked better on their own. A great discussion about teamwork, compromise, and kindness came from the activity. The final two photos are from our lesson on paychecks, taxes, and community workers. It has been a wonderful, hands on experience!
