The fifth graders have been working very hard on an economics unit that has emphasized loans, promissory notes, security agreements, and much more. They were given the task to make a craft item, they thought might sell. Kiersten choose key chains, hair clips, and pencils (thanks to my good friend, Jeanne for the AWESOME idea!) We started this project back in early November, to ensure we would not run into a "crunch" down the road. She learned a lot about borrowing and even interest (which she was not to excited to pay me.... btw) She also donated the profits to the Red Cross as her charity. What a great learning experience, and a ton of fun for the kids.
