The children are studying “goods and service” for Economics. A field trip to the local Carrefour Supermarket to look for goods and service. I avoid the Carrefour as much as possible. It is a large Supermarket filled with too many people. There is always a loud speaker (very loud) shouting in Chinese. It is easy to avoid living in Lujiazui as I get all my fruits and vegetables at the local wet market.

Elle was very excited to wear her new “field trip” t-shirt. This is the first field trip of the year.

The class walked to the Carrefour Supermarket – about three blocks. The children had fun along the way as they were full of energy.

The Carrefour Supermarket is on the second floor. We were only visiting the first floor small shops to find goods and services. We need to mark if the goods/service was a need or a want. We were looking for natural and human resources along with recycle.

Lunch was at the pizza stop, Sbarro. Our pizza was a need while our soda was a want. We enjoyed a slice of pizza with Doris and her Mother, Mei.

I avoid Carrefour so well I have not realized how many new shops were downstairs. There were a few new bakery’s with fresh bread, a tupperware shop (not good to know as I love my tupperware) and a Dunkin Donuts. Elle and I purchased 18 sugar donuts to take back for the class to share. The donuts were 80rmb ($12).
