Every year at this time, life gets especially crazy. The girls have a million projects to complete for the end of school, a few field trips, some performances and then sports.
In fourth grade our school has Entrepreneur Day. The kids conceptualize, make and sell a product. They learn about economics, marketing, pricing…everything that goes into running a successful business. Then all the kids in the school (2-5), teachers and parents come and shop.
I love this!
The creativity of 9 and 10 year olds is amazing!
Daughter #1 made Duct Tape I pod cases.
To grab attention, Daughter #2 and I made her a Duct Tape shirt.
I doubt there will be a big market for these shirts, but it certainly grabbed folks attention!
Yes, the kid next to her made pigs-in-a-blanket. I eyed them all morning!
The entire fourth grade raised over $13,000! Unbelievable.
The money is then donated to several charities that the class selected. Another invaluable lesson.
Have a fabulous long weekend!

I'm back!
Kids are amazing, aren't they? In the last couple of days my kids have invented a new game. They've been charging each other imaginary $0.80 to go to an imaginary toilet... Not sure where they got the idea.
What awesome ideas! I'm SO impressed her class raised that much money.
