Third Grade Learns About Economics

As part of their PYP theme “How We Organize Ourselves” our third grade students have been exploring “the interconnectedness of human-made systems and communities“ by studying “economic activities and their impact on humankind and the environment.” Our third graders were visited by Sal Maglietta, Executive Vice President for Corporate Banking at U.S. Bank, who spoke about supply-and-demand, natural resources, and needs versus wants. Our students were fascinated by the systems and structures that shape our everyday lives! Thank you to Mr. Maglietta for speaking to our students and to Ms. DeJesus for helping to organize the event!
