Dr. Martin’s economics unit has come to an amazing close with a hands-on project that truly brought learning to life!
📚💡 Students became entrepreneurs and created their very own toy store through a project based learning activity! 🚀 They put their financial literacy skills to the test, learning about how to make a profit, expenses, and pricing strategies.
💰💼 But it didn't stop there! The real magic happened when students from other grades came to shop in their store.
🛍️ Seeing their classmates engage with the products they created was not only rewarding but a true application of the economics concepts they've been mastering.
Here’s to hands-on learning and real-world skills and ending up with a $607 profit!🌟
