"Lawn Boy" was about a boy who created his own summer job and after a series of events... It turned out to be very lucrative for him! ;) It is such a fun novel, especially so close to the end of the school year. Students learned many valuable, life lessons from the story (especially about hard work and saving money) ! We aldo did A LOT of math! ;)
After reading, students created a summer business proposal with a partner! I was so amazed by all the creative ideas!! Many groups had to research the one time costs of equipment and recurring costs their businessess may have! They also had to create an advertisement of their business and "propose " it to the class! ;)
Below, are examples of student's projects and a description of their business/shout out!
Great job with the presentations 6th Grade!!
