Budgeting a "Party"

For the past few weeks, we have been working on Economics in Social Studies.  We have read line graphs to show changes over time, and discussed how positive and negative incentives are used to influence people's choices.  We also reviewed what goods and services are as well as the roles that consumers and producers play in our economy.  Finally, we discussed how supply and demand can affect prices and how to weigh the benefits (good reasons) and the costs (bad reasons) when making an economic choice.  To finish up our unit, we were given a price list of items that we could buy for our 'party.'  However, we had to keep in budget as well. 

We found that, although it is extremely important to follow a budget, it isn't necessarily an easy task to do.

Happy Holidays from 3A and WTPE's Very Own "Elf on the Roof"

 

Merry Christmas!

 

"Christmas Around the World"

This week, we are finishing up our "Christmas Around the World" Google Slides projects.  During Thanksgiving Break, we were able to bring our gingerbread people 'to life' by coloring them and dressing them up like our country's traditional dress.  We hope you enjoy looking at our gingerbread people and reading why each of us would like to go to our chosen country during Christmas time.  Merry Christmas!  :)

 

Happy Halloween!

 Last Friday, we had our annual Halloween Parade and Party.  Things were a little bit different because of Covid policies, but we were just glad that we got to celebrate Halloween and have some fun. :)

Raider Pride Party

 Last Thursday, we had our first "Raider Pride" Party of the year.  This is for any third grader who has worked really hard, put lots of effort into his/her work, cooperated with others, showed respect, etc.  We got to play lots of different games and puzzles.
