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.

浦东二年级（社科）：小小市场里有大学问

“手工小饼干，漂亮的折纸，快来看一下吧！”

你没有听错，这正是从二年级教室里传来的阵阵叫卖声。这周，浦东二年级的学生们都纷纷转变成生产者、消费者甚至销售商，每个人都为了这次小小市场活动而感动激动万分。

在过去的一两周里，学生们以小组为单位，和爸爸妈妈们一起利用课余时间制造出来很多令人惊异，独一无二甚至原创的产品，用来在小小市场的活动中销售。光是有好的产品怎么够，为了吸引大家来购买这些非常棒的手工制品，学生们一起动手设计并绘制出了五彩缤纷，主题鲜明的海报。在这过程中，学生们的团队合作精神，沟通能力和创造力都得到了很大的锻炼。最终，他们的辛勤付出在这周的小小市场活动中得到了相应的回报。

四月四日周四上午，学生们早早地就来到了教室，带着他们早已准备好的商品和海报，积极地和老师一起布置场地，为迎接即将到来的客人做好充分的准备。小组内的成员轮流担当销售者和消费者，和客人们沟通，谈判，期望凭借自己从社会科学课中学到的本领用尽可能少的预算买到更多商品或获得更多利润。由于学生们为本次活动准备的商品都十分美味精致，很快，不少摊位便销售一空。在获得了理想的利润又买到了称心如意的商品后，学生们的脸上都洋溢着自信和快乐。

在一阵阵叫卖声与欢笑声中，小小市场很快便结束了。当学生们感受到自己作为生产者、消费者和销售者，都能表现得如此出色，他们收获的就不仅仅是快乐，更多的是相信自己“我可以”的信心！
