"We use the Econ and Me DVD program to help the students learn about economics in a kid-friendly way. Every year, my students really enjoy the Econ and Me program and it always helps them master the difficult economic concepts." -- Heather Farrell Down, 2nd grade teacher and NBCT, Garrett Park Elementary School, MD | |  Email a Friend
