Economics Sale

Remember back in 2019 when Jr. Jr. made balloon wands with sugar skull faces for the Economics Sale at the elementary school? 

This year was Lucky's turn. He picked the culture of Ancient India and created (with help from his family) a snakes and ladders type game called "Tigers and Elephants."

Lucky drew the game board, Nichole and Dad both designed the elephants and tigers, and Lucky told Dad where to place them on the board. A couple of us helped put playing pieces (pennies) and dice in bags and put those with the boards in page protectors.

I like how it turned out. And Lucky's advertising? "If you're bored then come get a board."

Great job, son.

Economics Sale

Jr. Jr. and other students in his grade finished a unit about economics. At the end of the unit, they had an economics sale. The children (and family helpers) created products based on certain cultures to sell and invited family and friends and other students to come buy them. The money will go toward field trips, school activities, and things like that. I could tell the children worked hard on these projects. Way to go, kids.
Jr. Jr. decided his chosen culture was Mexican Dia de los Muertos and wanted to make balloon creations to sell. Jeremy taught him how to make balloon wands with sugar skull faces (they come printed like that) and bone handles.
Jr. Jr. did a very good job with those balloons (he made about 25) and they were popular.

Balloons. It's a family thing.
