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（社科）：小小市場里有大學問

“手工小餅干，漂亮的折紙，快來看一下吧！”

你沒有聽錯，這正是從二年級教室里傳來的陣陣叫賣聲。這周，浦東二年級的學生們都紛紛轉變成生產者、消費者甚至銷售商，每個人都為了這次小小市場活動而感動激動萬分。

在過去的一兩周里，學生們以小組為單位，和爸爸媽媽們一起利用課余時間制造出來很多令人驚異，獨一無二甚至原創的產品，用來在小小市場的活動中銷售。光是有好的產品怎么夠，為了吸引大家來購買這些非常棒的手工制品，學生們一起動手設計并繪制出了五彩繽紛，主題鮮明的海報。在這過程中，學生們的團隊合作精神，溝通能力和創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活動中得到了相應的回報。

四月四日周四上午，學生們早早地就來到了教室，帶著他們早已準備好的商品和海報，積極地和老師一起布置場地，為迎接即將到來的客人做好充分的準備。小組內的成員輪流擔當銷售者和消費者，和客人們溝通，談判，期望憑借自己從社會科學課中學到的本領用盡可能少的預算買到更多商品或獲得更多利潤。由于學生們為本次活動準備的商品都十分美味精致，很快，不少攤位便銷售一空。在獲得了理想的利潤又買到了稱心如意的商品后，學生們的臉上都洋溢著自信和快樂。

在一陣陣叫賣聲與歡笑聲中，小小市場很快便結束了。當學生們感受到自己作為生產者、消費者和銷售者，都能表現得如此出色，他們收獲的就不僅僅是快樂，更多的是相信自己“我可以”的信心！
