Tuesday, November 27th!

Welcome to Unit 4 - Entrepreneurship!

Today we began our last unit of the semester: Toy Entrepreneur. We...

  • Began our Toy Entrepreneur project. We will be studying entrepreneurship in class. We will learn about what entrepreneurs do and why they are important. But, we will also become entrepreneurs! 
  • Each class has become a "Start Up". They will further divide into departments and they will come up with ideas for new toys for the holiday season. 
  • The names of the Start-Ups are:
    • 1st Period - The Elephant
    • 2nd Period - Toy Box Toys Inc.
    • 3rd Period - Toylicious!
    • 6th Period - Fun Size Toy Corporation
    • 7th Period - Melted Crayon Toyz.
  • Students learned what was going to happen during this unit. They learned the process of going from nothing to presenting a new toy to a panel of "sharks".
  • The presentation is based on the TV show "Shark Tank".
  • We decided upon a name for our new companies (as seen above).
  • We also began thinking and voting on what different toy categories our companies will focus on.
