Eric's business expo

Eric is studying economics in Social Studies. To drive home the concept of supply and demand the kids have been hard at work over the past 6-7 weeks on a business project. First they had to interview someone in business (thank you Uncle Karl) about their services, who they serve, costs involved, marketing, and human and physical resources required. After that they decided on a good or service that they would like to provide and built a business around it. They had to survey their target population (third graders), detail a business plan and create advertisements.
Eric's company is called Cookie Attack and he is making pumpkin cookies. I tried to steer him in every other direction but cutouts but this is what he had his heart set on. From top to bottom it was his work. This Thursday they finally have their business expo. The four third grade classes will set up shop and sell to each other with "money" that they earn in class. Tonight we started on the cookies. Eric did so much of it himself...casted hand and all.

This project has been so much fun and Eric has learned so much. I think he understands supply and demand better than I do. I am so proud of him for the work he put into this project! I can't wait to go "shopping" on Thursday!
