Games such as Monopoly, Minecraft, and Stardew Valley feature economic systems that allow kids to have fun while seeing how an economy works. The games feature options to buy and sell, and the success of a player depends on their ability to balance short term gains with long-term goals, exercise restraint, and strategize how to make the most of the resources they have on hand. There are many other online games and board games that show kids how to manage money and resources, as well.

1. As we are learn about production, consumption, and distribution, ask your child what they will like to learn more about.

Example: if your child would like to know more about apples. Have your child explore how apples are made, how it gets to the grocery store, and who eats them.

1. As students are learning how technologies have advanced over the years improving the way items are distributed around the world, students can be creative and brainstorm what the future distribution would look like.

Your child can draw, write, paint, create a model, or any other way you can think of.

Don't forget to post your creation! Your child's classmates and I would love to see what your child came up with.

Take a Virtual Trip to the Teaching Garden!

We have missed being able to connect with students at the Teaching Garden so we created a virtual field trip! Below are age appropriate videos that focus on plant parts (for grades k-5) and regenerative agriculture (for grades 6-12). Below each virtual field trip video we also have age appropriate sites where students can explore more. We are also offering a live Q&A session with our staff! Your students can watch the virtual trip, come up with questions for our farmers, and we can meet with your class via zoom to answer them. If you are interested please fill out this google form or email ebrown@grownyc.org
