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. auroraleung0 https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834966987 2021-10-22 00:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834966987 Minecraft auroraleung0 https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834967788 2021-10-22 00:29:56 UTC https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834967788 Monopoly auroraleung0 https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834968392 2021-10-22 00:30:15 UTC https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834968392 auroraleung0 https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834980624 2021-10-22 00:36:07 UTC https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834980624 auroraleung0 https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834981910 2021-10-22 00:36:41 UTC https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834981910 Hello 1st Grade Parents, auroraleung0 https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1834992323 I am thrilled for you to be involved in our social studies unit on Economics!

Don't forget to post your creation! Your child's classmates and I would love to see what your child came up with.]]> 2021-10-22 01:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1835036332 Our Unit Plan Letter auroraleung0 https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1852548334 2021-10-28 23:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1852548334 Our Newsletter auroraleung0 https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1852550065 2021-10-28 23:20:41 UTC https://padlet.com/auroraleung0/t53rtsp8jp0wa2fn/wish/1852550065 Come Join Our Classroom!
