In the second grade economics unit in social studies, the students learned about producers and how many make goods in factories. Ms. Matt's college roommate is a Director at Triangle Brick in North Carolina and sent the class a video of their brick production. The class also logged onto a Google Meet with her and the plant manager to ask questions about the factory. She also sent squishy bricks for the class as a learning sourvenir. What an amazing learning experience!
