進入上海燎原雙語學校小學IB探究課程的第三個單元，這個單元的主題是我們如何組織我們自己，中心思想是交換制對社區有益。前兩周我們在課上討論了什么是交換、交換的起源、認識了人民幣、了解了“需要”和“想要”的不同，以及“商品”與“服務”的不同。本周我們主要討論的是如何組織、管理自己的錢，所以我們決定走出校園來一次實踐。

Entering Unit 3 of the inquiry cycle of this school year, our theme is “How we organize ourselves” and our central idea is “Exchange systems help our community”. We have discussed what exchange is, origins of exchange systems, Chinese currency, needs and wants, and goods and services in the past two weeks. We focused on how to organize and arrange our money this week in class. So, we decided to explore outside of school.

我們來到了社區里的麥德龍超市，每個同學都帶了20元錢，在之前的課上同學們已經根據他們自己的‘需要’和‘想要’以及對商品大概價值的預測做好了購物單，所以這次前來可為是目標明確，胸有成竹。

We went to the Metro market that is located in our community. Each student brought 20 Yuan with them. Students had planned based on their needs and wants and also their estimate of the value of goods prior to the field trip. Therefore, students went with purpose and confidence.

分組進入超市后，在老師和家長志愿者的帶領下，同學們根據自己的購物清單，井然有序的挑選著商品，有的同學心中默默算著每樣商品的價格，生怕超出了自己的預算，有的甚至準備了草稿紙和鉛筆，打起了草稿。但在結賬的時候還是超過了預算，只能舍棄了自己相對不需要的東西。

Students entered Metro by small groups with their teacher leader or parent volunteer leader. They shopped around based on what they have planned before. Some of the students calculated the total priceby heart because they did not want to overspend. Some of the students even brought their own pencil and scratch paper for calculation. When it was time for checking out, some students still exceeded the budget, they had to give upon the things they didn’t need at the moment.

但不管怎樣，這次活動鍛煉了同學實際管理、組織錢的能力，也通過實踐鍛煉了同學用錢來交換商品，同時也訓練了小朋友的數學運算能力，最重要的一點同學們在這次實踐活動中收獲了喜悅，他們通過交換得到了自己需要或者想要的東西，非常有成就感，整個二年級教師團隊也為他們開心。

Nonetheless, this field trip helped students to build their capacity around management andorganizing money. Students had also experienced shopping with money. In addition, students practiced their math calculation skills in real life experience. Most importantly, students really enjoyed this field trip and had a good time.They had been part of the exchange systems and purchased things they need. They are proud of themselves, and the whole second grade teaching team is very happy for them as well.
