Why Do People Work?
Why Do People Work?
Entry Event:
On Monday, March 18, we came back from the weekend only to discover that all of our snacks were missing! We needed to problem solve ways to get our snack. The students came up with this list. Mrs. Perryman happened to come in our room right when we were trying to decide which solution would work best for us. She told us about how her mail and paper deliveries were backed up. She also needed help moving the copy paper to a new location.
Students delivered mail and paper for Mrs. Perryman.
A lot of mail had built up over the break so we had our hands full!
Mrs. Perryman paid us for the work we did. Mrs. Simmons took the money we earned and bought our snacks.

Each student designed a poster for one of our products. We then took the designs and voted on the ones that represented the product and the pricing well. The winning design was put into the final ad and then given to Ms. Thomas' class so they knew what they could buy!
