Fables and Economics Integrated Unit

In the Common Core Unit 3 for 1st grade, students will understand that we learn life lessons through our experiences and through stories. They will read stories and tell the central message or life lessons. They will sequence the stories. They will be able to tell the characters, setting and plot of the stories. They will also learn economic terms like: goods, services, resources, producers, consumers, wants, and needs. Since this unit is during Thanksgiving and Christmas, those holidays are tied in as well as students find out what lessons the pilgrims learned as well as the lessons we learn about gift giving at Christmastime.
