Junior Achievement

Today was our first day welcoming our visitors Nita and Kar Mun to our classroom.  They are two fantastic volunteers from SPU who are volunteering for Junior Achievement and teaching us all about being and becoming an entrepreneur!  First we talked about the four different areas where entrepreneurs can choose to create a new product: food/drinks, sports, technology, and entertainment.

Ask your child to think of an entrepreneur that fits into one of those categories!

Then, we brainstormed ideas about what makes an entrepreneur successful.  Students had a great list traits like:

Great vocabulary!  Perseverance, honest...

Determined, invention needs to be useful, kind...

Advertisement, making what people want...

Doesn't use the consumer, prepared to work, "holiday decorated building"... the holidays apparently are important to our class!  Who would have guessed with Halloween right around the corner, right?! :)

And lastly, correspondent and "they have to know when the beat drops".... absolutely my favorite! :)

Junior Achievement is coming to visit 4 more times and I can't wait to see what we do next.  Write JA on your planner for bonus points for tonight!
