Oh-my-goodness! I have been working feverishly on my new economics unit since 7:00 last night. Since my hubster has been out of town for a college football game, I decided to make use of my free time by creating supplemental resources to use with my Social Studies curriculum and Unit 1 in Reading Street, which also focuses on economics. I don’t think I have blinked for at least ten hours, and my fingers are seriously starting to cramp. I’m tellin’ ya, I love when my creative juices start flowing, but sometimes I don’t know when to call it quits… especially when I’m trying to fit it in while Mr. Wonderful is gone. Ladies, I have officially ran out of steam… and apparently ideas. So, 48 pages later, I am happy to say that I am finished. For now. I have uploaded the new bundle to TpT, so feel free to check out the preview file! I threw in my classroom jobs printable since it also reinforces the idea of economics, so this actually contains 40 NEW pages. I can’t wait to launch this unit next week! Check it out to learn more about Play-Doh-nomics, Market Day, how to start your own classroom business, and more!
This is phenomenal! =)

Thank you!!! 🙂
Amanda,
This looks great! I teach a year long economy unit through my behavior system (Thanks Beth Newingham!) and this would would be a great addition. This also covers our social studies standards! Thanks!
Now that you are out of steam, go take the pups for a walk! Enjoy your extended weekend!:)

I just purchased these from TPT last night and I am so excited to plan the unit out! I just adore the fonts you are using on your little vocabulary posters. What fonts are they and where could I purchase them? Also, while I am on the font topic, I love the bright colorful ones you always use on your unit cover pages (I purchase a lot :)) I want to say I heard from someone they are on Lettering Delights but I just can't seem to find them. I am obsessed with fonts! 🙂
I can't thank you enough for this unit! I'm a new teacher and wasn't sure how to teach economics to first graders!
Thank you,Jessica
