Love it! Soon after I read your post, I saw this ad:

Like these adults, Calypso might not have the knowledge/vocabulary to help her students reflect on the economics connections in their play… implications for teacher prep/PD!

Ha - I came here to share this same connection made to that commercial!

My 7/yo daughter loves both Bluey (understandable) and commercials (strange effect of no-ad streaming services turning commercials into a novelty when we watch sports).

I was able to share with her that Bluey has the answer to the silly commercial, so she pounced on my ask to watch the episode with her.

Thanks Stephen!

Ha ha Yeah, I can definitely see a kid trying to leverage an educational opportunity into more TV watching. Mine do that all the time. Well, as long as they learn the lesson!

I absolutely love this video! Definitely going to use in for PD.
