Happy Saturday families,<\/p>\n
We will have a Social Studies test this week. \u00a0I usually try to space the test out over a few days to break it down a little bit for the kids. The test will cover needs and wants, goods and services, consumer and producer, scarcity and fairness.<\/p>\n
A need is something you have to have to live. Ex. Water, shelter, healthy food.<\/p>\n
A want is something you would like to have but don’t really need. \u00a0Ex. Video games and chocolate cake.<\/p>\n
A producer is someone who makes or grows something or privides a service. \u00a0Ex. A pizza maker provides pizza. \u00a0A hair dresser provides a srevice – a haircut.<\/p>\n
A consumer is someone who uses the good or receives the srevice. \u00a0Ex. I buy bread from the store. \u00a0I am the consumer. \u00a0I got a haircut. \u00a0I am a consumer of a service.<\/p>\n
Examples of goods are food, bike, clothes.<\/p>\n
Examples of services are a mailcarrier, a teacher or a police officer.<\/p>\n
Scarcity means not enough. \u00a0I have 10 students and only 5 pencils. This is an example of scarcity because i don’t have enough pencils.<\/p>\n
As for fairness the concept being addressed is that yes its fair to not get what you want because sometimes adults have to make choices.<\/p>\n
We have been reviewing all last week. The fairness question gets them every time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
