Not only did they learn about running a business, but they showed a lot of generosity. I saw: students who were sold out helping others sell and watching each other's stores so they could buy. We will be reflecting on our learning the rest of the week. Our class raised $392.27!!! We're waiting to hear from all of the classes, but all of the proceeds will be donated to the Round Rock Area Serving Center. Please check out Seesaw for pictures. Lastly, THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your support! I know this project was quite an undertaking, and that families were generous of their time and energy to make this happen. PBL Economics Fair
Monday: ALL 36 items to sell are due. Please send $3 in change, if you have not done that already. We will print out our final signs today and discuss Tuesday: Economics Fair is from 8:10-10:10 in the morning. Students should bring their own spending money and a shopping bag. The rest of the week, we will be finishing up our Entrepreneur Research projects and reflecting on our learning. Field Day is Friday! Our time is 8:00-9:40 AM. It will be a fun-filled morning! Please have your child wear their light blue 3rd Grade shirt (or one of a similar color, if it is MIA). It will make it easier to spot members of our class that day.
