Friends Community School 1st and 2nd grade students recently hosted a “Barter Bonanza”, a simulation designed to mimic market trading and bring key economic concepts to life. Through “bartering”, students developed an understanding of community, relationships, and systems, while also building critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills. These young entrepreneurs considered wants and needs, fairness, value, and thoughtful decision-making as they worked to make successful trades with FCS peers, Middle Schoolers and adults!
