Sixth Grade Passion Project: Each year, our sixth grade students work on a business project in May. This is a great way for the students to wrap up the year with a focus on everything that they have learned in math (calculating costs, percentages, discounts/profits, etc.), language arts (how-to speeches, advertising, written business plan, etc.), technology, as well as learn about economics and real life skills involved in starting a business. In addition, students had to persuade their investors (Ms. Yuenger and Mrs. Eichmann) to be able to start their business. Students have been working hard on their products and will sell them the week of May 16. The profits from their sale will go to a charity researched and chosen by the majority of students.
