This week for JA the second graders learned about businesses, occupations, goods vs. services, paychecks, and taxes. The students were lead in a conversation about businesses and marked some businesses with stickers on a map. Students were all given an occupation card and had to talk about where the different people would work and if they provided a good or service. Finally, it was "payday" and all of the students were given $5. The tax collectors went around to collect $2 from each person in order to pay the firefighters and police officers and learn about where other tax dollars may go. It was a wonderful, hands-on, learning experience!
