*We will be discussing our End of Year Free Enterprise activities with the students this week.  They will get into small groups to create businesses.  They will need to come up with a "product" to "sell" (must have a recycled component to it).  The manufacturing of the product will be done outside of school.  We will be discussing Economics Concepts and then creating advertising for their products in class closer to the end of May.  We are introducing it now so that they have plenty of time to discuss, get approval, collect materials, and make their products.  They should not begin making anything until ALL group members have their product idea approved by their parents AND teacher! Concept ideas are due for approval by May 12 and actual products are due June 5 (Free Enterprise is June 5 at 2:30 - parents are welcome to come shop, we'll provide you with the coupons to shop with - NO REAL MONEY).
