*** Everyone took home a letter about Market Day yesterday. Market Day is May 6th. Market Day is a fun-filled activity where students make items to sell to one another. This helps to teach economics, supply and demand, productivity and consumerism. Students will use monies earned in class to purchase items. Please let me know if you have any questions. Again, the info. was sent home yesterday. The business product sheet is due back April 16th.
