Our 5th graders in Ms. Warner & Mrs. Brittingham's class stepped back in time for a Colonial Market Simulation! 🕰️
They were assigned colonial Virginia jobs and tried their luck at bartering for goods. The big takeaway? Bartering is tough when you can't find the right trade! It was a fantastic, hands-on lesson in colonial economics and the challenges of a cashless society.
