S-U-C-C-E-S-S that's the way we spell success!

Friday's classroom store was a success! As a class we did an excellent job of following the economic process. After completing this activity share with the class one thing that worked well for the classroom store and one thing you'd change. Be sure to use vocabulary that helps me know that you understand economics.

Check out our Ads! Do these ads make you want to shop at these stores?

Below you will see a collection of Ads our students made to get the word out about our classroom store.

Before we go to Jefferson City I am sure that there are a lot of things we are curious about. What do you want to see? What are you most excited to do? What are you nervous about?
