Mental Addition
Reading
It was exciting being able to take it to another level and talk about supply and demand. We discussed that halloween items are at a high value right now, but after halloween what will happen to those high prices? They are going to get lower since people aren't wanting halloween decorations anymore. Our Watchdogs came in that day and shared a story with our class. He stated in 1996, an Elmo toy was in huge demand. Everyone wanted to have the Elmo toy. That year he told us that one Elmo toy sold in California for $3,000 dollars. He also shared that year for Christmas he received one of those Elmo's and he currently still owns it. It is great to have our Watchdogs contribute to our learning!
