The students in my 3rd Grade ELA Classroom, through the use of Social Studies in Informational Reading, will become Young Entrepreneurs as they Develop their own Business and Marketing Strategies to sell a good or a service that they create. Students only grasp information concretely when given real-world scenarios. This Innovative, STEM, and Project-Based Learning Activity will take students on a Real World Learning EDventure from the Physical Classroom to Virtual Classroom to the Local Community. Students will learn through application the meaning of intensive Economic vocabulary. As students develop their business plans, they have to then design a sign or logo with a quirky business name through the use of Alliteration, they create a catch phrase or jingle to go with their business and then as they figure start-up cost they come up with the price of the item in order to make a profit. When ALL students have completed their projects we then take them to our Community Market Day Event (Town Festival) where they earn “real money” to give back to their school. In one day, we earned around $800.00. Kids earning money, Wow!! Ask me how.
