4th Grade Economics Field Trip, May 14
Another high-powered, educational field trip is taking place for our fourth grade
students on Wednesday, May 14. Fourth graders will travel by bus to the
University of Cincinnati to take part in a large-scale economics simulation that
they've been working on in-class for some time entitled the StEP or Student
Enterprise Program. This is an entrepreneurial fair that several schools around
the city take part in at UC each year.
Students create their own communities and economies within their classrooms
and then market the products that they develop and produce to other classes
and to other schools at the culminating event in May at UC at the StEP
marketplace fair. Our students will also have the opportunity to tour the UC
campus a bit and see what a university is all about. Again, we'll need a 10:1
student:adult ratio, so if you're interested in being a chaperone for this event,
please contact the WWES main office at 619-2490.
