Business Sense

The fifth grade students applied their newly-learned math skills to create their own stores. They produced a business proposal that included products, prices, and marketing strategies. On December 18, they opened their stores and welcomed 2nd and 3rd grade friends as their very first customers. Throughout the experience, the students learned about supply and demand and the importance of good customer service. At the conclusion of the project, the students reflected on their experience and thought about specific improvements that can be made to allow their business to thrive. They look forward to implementing these improvements at their “Spring Sale.” There are some future entrepreneurs in this group!
