Young Entrepreneurs
Friday was the Big Young Entrepreneurs Sale. What an extraordinary day it was! The energy in the room was amazing! There was a feeling of pride, excitement, and nerves. It was wonderful to see so many Homelearner families come and support the intermediate class. Some brought grandparents, neighbours, and friends too, and we thank them for their support!
The students kept busy selling their products, telling customers about their businesses, and making change for those who purchased their products. As students reached their “break-even” points, you could see the relief on their faces. From there, they knew they were making profits, so their confidence grew as they bustled to make more sales. It truly was an amazing experience that the students will cherish and remember forever.
We want to remind you that the aim of this program is the PROCESS of building a business, and all that entails, NOT just making profits. In light of this, all students experienced success. Everyone should be extremely proud of the work they did.
Spuds in Tubs
This week we learned about potatoes and planted seed potatoes in bins. We were hoping to do this outside, but we had unexpected snow yesterday! We measured our potatoes, described how they looked, and removed the largest sprout before planting. As they grow, we will be able to make observations and record progress through the Spring.
*Have a wonderful Spring Break. Look for the next Blog on April 1 (no kidding)!*
