My second and third-grade intellectually gifted students use higher-order thinking that requires problem-solving, creativity, and many other thinking skills. Engaging in do-it-yourself (DIY) arts and crafts will empower my students with essential entrepreneurial skills by fostering creativity, innovation, and problem-solving abilities. Through hands-on projects, they will learn to design unique products, manage resources, and understand the value of their creations.
Preparing for Market Day in the classroom will provide them with practical experience in marketing, pricing, and customer interaction, thus equipping them with a comprehensive understanding of the entrepreneurial process.
My goals for my students for Market Day in the classroom are to develop their entrepreneurial skills by creating and selling their own products. I aim to teach them the fundamentals of product development, marketing, and financial literacy. Through this experience, I want them to learn the importance of creativity, teamwork, and communication in a business context. Additionally, I hope to instill a sense of responsibility and confidence in their abilities to manage a project from start to finish. Ultimately, I want my students to understand the value of hard work and the satisfaction of achieving their goals.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
