Hey There, Students!
Today, we will take a closer look at the stock market, what it is, and how it operates. For fifth graders, this can be a complex idea, so we discuss it in simple terms.

View the slideshow below to learn more about what the stock market is.
In your journal: Now, we will review some of the key terms you learned today. Throughout this unit, we will learn new words while adding to the key terms we have already learned.
