Welcome to our In the Know topic for September, What Is the Economy? You may wish to take a look at other grade spans and recommend articles to students that are below or above their grade’s reading level.

Grades K-1 ask what we mean when we talk about the economy.  A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.

Grades 2-3 investigate the distinction between the economy and the stock market. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.

Grades 4-5 will explore the COVID-19 pandemic’s affect on the economy.  A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
