Herschel's World of Economics©!

 
Herschel's World of Economics

"Herschel's quirky behavior and sense of humor make the video entertaining while learning about economics. Herschel was able to present economic concepts in a way that was fun and that the students could easily understand."    

Katie Nelson, 4th Grade Teacher

Elementary age students will be charmed by Herschel, a feisty little puppet dog who thinks he knows a lot about economics, but still has a lot to learn.  Dr. Day comes to the rescue and helps Herschel learn about important economic concepts identified in national and state standards.  Welcome to Herschel’s World of Economics©!
