What a great time we had on our field trip to Publix!! I wanted to share some cute pictures from our field trip, and give a huge THANK YOU to all of my volunteers who joined us: Mrs. Martnez, Mr. Pelt, Mr. Lemon, Mr. Fraizer, Mrs. Robinson, and Mrs. Campbell. We had a wonderful time, and I think the students thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We are in the process of learning all about economics- supply and demand, needs and wants, goods and services, consumers and producers, income, and bartering. We will be working in our Winter Workshop factories soon to make goods to sell to our classmates. What a fun and exciting way to learn about economics!!!

Happy Friday!! There is a great curriculum-based website that students can use as practice over the winter break. Just go to https://www.thelearningodyssey.com/ and students will use their username and password to login. The school will be LCEUC but that should show up automatically. It is aligned with their MAP reading and math goals for the spring and is an excellent site.
