Students in Mrs. Hanson’s class traveled back in time to the 1920s to buy and sell stocks. What started as a roaring success quickly turned into the Great Depression after the Stock Market Crash. By the end, students walked away with a deeper empathy for those who lived through this time and a stronger understanding of how economic hardship affects real lives. Whether they walked away with a profit or an empty wallet, everyone walked away with a fun and memorable learning experience. 💰💵📉
