April 16th Market Day Business Product Sheet Due

April 14th Mrs. Hendrickson's students will meet for their regular class.

Everyone took home a letter about Market Day yesterday.  Market Day is May 6th.  It is a fun-filled activity where students make items to sell to one another. Some students even began a survey about what to make to sell.  This helps to teach economics, supply and demand, productivity, and consumerism.  Students will use monies earned in class to purchase items.  Again the information was sent home on Thursday.  Please let me know if you have more questions.  The business product sheet is due back on April 16th.

Have a wonderful spring break!!
