My Project

Our 4th and 5th grade students in the business club work for half of the school year on developing businesses to sell products and services. As beginner entrepreneurs, they learn about creating a business plan, profits and losses, product creation, marketing and selling their products and services.

We are setting up a space within our school that will provide the necessary materials and machines for our students to create all they imagine.

Having materials, resources and creating machines and tools will let the possibilities be endless. Specifically the button maker, the seed materials, paints, label maker, and Apple pencils will be used for businesses. The space heater, tv (which will be used as a monitor) and fish will add to our fun, creative and warm space.

Help us provide access to all they need to make their businesses successful!
