Econ. Standards Activities: Kindergarten

K:SS.K.E. 1.1. Describe different kinds of jobs that people do and the tools or equipment used.

Before Reading: Quick draw—jobs and tools to make cupcakes. View video (Writing, speaking, listening, viewing).

During Reading: Thumbs-up (pick-out) when they see a job or tool as you read the story.

After Reading: Put In their ideas about the jobs and tools needed to make and sell cupcakes. Make a shared digital story with one job/tool per page. PowerPoint + sound

After Reading: Make pictures of all of the jobs and tools from the story. Place them inside a paper bag. Decorate the bag with words and images. As you take out images, discuss how they were used in story.

Research: They create (produce) their own text (recipe, digital story, story, compare/contrast, poster, etc.)

Brown Bag Ideas

1) Make pictures of all of the jobs and tools from the story. Place them inside the bag. Decorate the bag with words and images. As you take out images, discuss how they were used in story.

2) Make puppets to retell parts of the story. Students do a retell of the story based on econ-cepts.

3) Brown bag with characters and props from book for retell. Decorate the bag with images and words from the story. The bag is used to illustrate the main concepts:

– Wants: what did characters want in the story?– Goods/services: what were examples of goods/services?– Money: What did the different characters use as currency/money? Make some items

and money. Price items.

Standards Activities: Grade 1During Reading Pick-out: Each student has a set of the word cards you

wish to use. Ask them to hold up a card when they hear a concept (Pick-out) in the story.

After Reading: Students can get in small groups and create their own videos about the goods and services in the story. They can re-read parts of the story and discuss the goods and services.

• Put-In – What are the ingredients (goods) necessary to make cupcakes (use recipes or video)? What are the services the characters provided in producing and selling cupcakes?

• Put-In new text: Fancy Nancy Recipe & There Was a Fancy Girl • Produce: Students create their own recipes/videos discussing the

goods and services necessary to produce cupcakes and sell them at a fundraiser. (advertisements, games, etc.)

Recipes: Instructional Texts

Paper Plate Pop-Up1. Fold plate taco-style and cut tab

as in image.2. Draw the character. Glue her on

the pop-up tab.3. Choose economic concepts to

illustrate or write. 1. Decisions and consequences2. Goods and services she used.3. Resources needed for cupcakes.4. Things you would need to make

your food of choice. (image of self. Take photos and make into pop-up puppets!)

Standards Activities: Grade 2SS.2.E.1.1 People make choices because of limited resources. Before Reading Predict: Discuss the concepts: choices, scarcity,

goods, services, and resources. When someone is cooking and has limited (scarce) resources, what choices can they make?

During Reading: Students record (pick out) the scarce resources in the stories. In both stories, the characters made choices to sell cupcakes because the library had scarce resources (books). What choices did they make?

After Reading Put In: Create a Decision Apron about what choices you could make if you had scarce resources. Then make a decision paper-plate activity.
