A Visit from a Student Business Owner

We've begun our economics unit in social studies.  The class has been learning about buying what we need and what we want.  We've discussed why we can't by everything we want, even if we want to!  Along with using money to buy what we need and want, the students shared why it's important to save money, and we recently added helping people to the ways that we can use money.  The class has been learning about the difference between a business that sells goods and a business that provides a service.

Isaac from Isaac's Eggs visited 2nd grade last week to share with us the details of his egg business.  Isaac is now in 7th grade, and he started his egg business when he was in 3rd grade.  His visit provides a great opportunity for the students to learn how Isaac came up with his idea, his favorite part of owning a business, about how much money he makes a week or month, what he needs to pay for to keep his business running, and the daily chores he must do to run his business.  The class asked Isaac many great questions!  This also provides the kids with the chance to see a young person who had an idea and made it into a business!  How inspiring!

Thanks for visiting Isaac!

We are getting closer and closer to completing our cookbook!  Sales will be starting at the end of this week!  We can't wait!
