No body was happy that our school was given an extra seven days added to our school year. But our wonderful teachers are doing their best to do fun things this week at school. Attendance is voluntary and you can see the difference on the playground when I drop Hannah off at school, so far Hannah hasn't asked to stay home, who wouldn't with it being fun everyday? LOL.
Hannah's teacher came up with a schedule for the week:
Tuesday: Business and Store Day
Wednesday: Art Day
Thursday: Science Day
Friday: Camp Read A lot and Class Store Day
Monday : Movie and Clean Up Day
On Tuesday, for the Business and Store Day, the kids had to come up with businesses in which they would sell stuff. They had to come up with a business name, make a store banner for the front of their desks, come up with a price for their product, and then make their product to sell.
For example, there were a few kids who made bracelets out of embroidery floss, one made cookies, one made cupcakes, one made paper airplanes, noise makers, two students sold their service of cleaning the tops of desks.
The kids could do it together, or individually. But if they worked together, the profit had to be shared. There was some girl drama last week when Hannah was trying to work with another girl in her class and finally I convinced her to just come up with something on her own.
Her idea, with a little help from her parents) was "Hannah's Photo Fun". She took her camera to school one day last week, got a couple pictures to use as examples, and used a picture or two from our files here at home. Then her and Daddy searched the internet and came up with putting your face on a cover of a magazine! She chose five designs - a Sports one, a Skateboarding one, a Best Friends One, a Karate one, and a Princess one. Daddy taught her how to put the picture into the template and crop it and then we had them printed. She then put them on a poster board as examples of what her business did.
