Another great week!

We had a fun time last week discussing the pizza feed and debriefing some of the problems of  running a business.  We talked a lot about the importance of good record keeping.  The kids have noticed that it is definitely hard to keep track of what is being sold when we are busy.  We had 2 inspiring presentations about 2 more young entrepreneurs.  The kids came up with the idea of offering breakfast foods at the store on pajama day, what a great idea!!!  We will have milk and cereal, granola bars, and a few other breakfast things available for purchase.  Thanks again for supporting these budding business owners, they are doing great!!!

Pizza Feed a success!

The pizza feed was a big hit, thanks to all who supported it!  We spent class time last week talking about ways that we can improve our store, and what products that we want to add, and the importance of good customer service! We also introduced the kids to the class spreadsheets and how they work.  Next week we will discuss the results of our pizza project, and start to look over our data from the last few weeks and make some important business decisions about the direction of our store in the future.  Since we have been open a few weeks, we can now look at what is selling and what isn't, and start to focus more of what our customers want by what they are buying and not necessarily what they are requesting.  We are having a great time in class and the kids are making smart business decisions.  We will also hear presentations from Emily Owen and Taylor Miller.  Thanks!
