Producers and Consumers

Welcome!

Over the past week we've been studying  goods & services, and producers & consumers. To culminate our Community Jobs unit, the students participated in a snack mix assembly line.  

We discussed how a real assembly line is designed to work and how we were going to use the process to produce our own snack mix. Each student had a job either scooping items in the bag (Thank you parents for your donations!), labeling & closing the bags, or team supervisor.  We divided into two teams and tried to see who could produce ten bags first.

 

The children  had a great time and got a hands-on opportunity to experience being a producer and producing a good. They also got to be a consumer when they took the snack mix home to share with their families.  It was a really fun activity!

 

Our finished product!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins

 

 

This week during our current integrated Science and ELA unit, we are learning about plants, and more specifically the pumpkin plant.  Above is a picture of the parts of the pumpkin plant that our students created.  We also made a model of the life cycle of a pumpkin plant, as well as a flip book showing what all plants need to grow!  During the remainder of our unit, we will be using the writing process to describe a pumpkin using adjectives.  Keep an eye out here for more photos to come!
