Pudong Campus (Social Study)丨Mini Market

Cookies and origami for everyone! This week grade two students transformed into producers, consumers, and even marketers! Everyone was so excited about the mini market.

Students worked tirelessly in pairs and groups over the past few weeks to create amazing, unique and original products to sell during the grade two mini-mart. In order to encourage others to buy their wonderful products, students created bright and colorful posters as a group. Teamwork, communication, reasoning and creative skills were built a few of the many characteristics grade two used during these weeks. In the end their hard work paid off in what was an extremely successful mini-mart.

On Thursday 4th April, students eagerly arrived bright and early to set up their stalls with their homemade products and advertisements, ready to sell to other grade two students and even teachers. Producers and consumers came out of the woodwork to barter and negotiate with each other in an effort to maximize profits while buying as many goods as possible with their budgets. Excellent teamwork was clear during the entirety of the activity, with one student working on sales, while the other acted as a consumer. A great morning was had by all, and the smiles on the students’ faces showed their pride and happiness.

What the students had been received from this mini market is not only packs of joy, but lots of confidence on how well they could do as producers, consumers, and even marketers.

浦東二年級(jí)（社科）：小小市場(chǎng)里有大學(xué)問(wèn)

“手工小餅干，漂亮的折紙，快來(lái)看一下吧！”

你沒(méi)有聽(tīng)錯(cuò)，這正是從二年級(jí)教室里傳來(lái)的陣陣叫賣(mài)聲。這周，浦東二年級(jí)的學(xué)生們都紛紛轉(zhuǎn)變成生產(chǎn)者、消費(fèi)者甚至銷(xiāo)售商，每個(gè)人都為了這次小小市場(chǎng)活動(dòng)而感動(dòng)激動(dòng)萬(wàn)分。

在過(guò)去的一兩周里，學(xué)生們以小組為單位，和爸爸媽媽們一起利用課余時(shí)間制造出來(lái)很多令人驚異，獨(dú)一無(wú)二甚至原創(chuàng)的產(chǎn)品，用來(lái)在小小市場(chǎng)的活動(dòng)中銷(xiāo)售。光是有好的產(chǎn)品怎么夠，為了吸引大家來(lái)購(gòu)買(mǎi)這些非常棒的手工制品，學(xué)生們一起動(dòng)手設(shè)計(jì)并繪制出了五彩繽紛，主題鮮明的海報(bào)。在這過(guò)程中，學(xué)生們的團(tuán)隊(duì)合作精神，溝通能力和創(chuàng)造力都得到了很大的鍛煉。最終，他們的辛勤付出在這周的小小市場(chǎng)活動(dòng)中得到了相應(yīng)的回報(bào)。

四月四日周四上午，學(xué)生們?cè)缭绲鼐蛠?lái)到了教室，帶著他們?cè)缫褱?zhǔn)備好的商品和海報(bào)，積極地和老師一起布置場(chǎng)地，為迎接即將到來(lái)的客人做好充分的準(zhǔn)備。小組內(nèi)的成員輪流擔(dān)當(dāng)銷(xiāo)售者和消費(fèi)者，和客人們溝通，談判，期望憑借自己從社會(huì)科學(xué)課中學(xué)到的本領(lǐng)用盡可能少的預(yù)算買(mǎi)到更多商品或獲得更多利潤(rùn)。由于學(xué)生們?yōu)楸敬位顒?dòng)準(zhǔn)備的商品都十分美味精致，很快，不少攤位便銷(xiāo)售一空。在獲得了理想的利潤(rùn)又買(mǎi)到了稱(chēng)心如意的商品后，學(xué)生們的臉上都洋溢著自信和快樂(lè)。

在一陣陣叫賣(mài)聲與歡笑聲中，小小市場(chǎng)很快便結(jié)束了。當(dāng)學(xué)生們感受到自己作為生產(chǎn)者、消費(fèi)者和銷(xiāo)售者，都能表現(xiàn)得如此出色，他們收獲的就不僅僅是快樂(lè)，更多的是相信自己“我可以”的信心！
