product to “sell” and present.
Some examples of products the students could make and bring
in are:
Small handcrafted products such as paper bag puppets, coin
banks, braided jewelry, games, slime, toys or art work.
Absolutely
NO food items!!! Please make sure items are on the small side. J
Products should be made from everyday items, recycled objects
or cheap craft materials. The students will price their own items to be either
$1, $2, or $3 to “sell”.
The students will be making advertisements for their products
in class. These advertisements will be used to help sell their products to other
students at Pinebrook Elementary on May 30th. The students will also
be given the opportunity to shop for items they want to purchase. Each student will be given $5 (fake money) to
spend.
