- Great book to introduce students to the helpers that make their community a safe and fun place to live! After reading this book to students, out of the list of jobs/community helpers and their pictures, students will choose what they would like to be. No students can have the same job since we want students to learn a new job each time a student presents. After choosing a community helper, students will dress up in the costume of their assigned job and receive a handout of information about their community helper. After students have dressed up and explored their job, each student will have a couple of minutes to share with the class who they are and what they do ]]> 2019-04-05 20:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cm11385/economic_understandings/wish/349075268 cm11385 https://padlet.com/cm11385/economic_understandings/wish/349077977 -  SS1E2: Explain that scarcity is when unlimited wants are greater than limited resources.
