Earth Day is held on the same day each year, April 22nd. This year’s theme is Planets vs. Plastics, which is chosen annually by EarthDay.org. With Earth Day being this upcoming Monday, it creates an ideal opportunity to introduce the Earth Day theme and continue students’ understanding of this theme throughout the week!
This engaging program will grab and hold your students attention as they are introduced to the key concepts surrounding our community's economy. They will learn the difference between goods and services in both the public and private sector. Lots of real life visuals show people at work—production workers and service workers—and helps students understand the role taxes play in our lives. Personal responsibility, work ethic, and the difference between wants and needs are shown in terms students will understand.
Learn that an economy is the jobs, services and products that people use to live in their communities.
