My Students

I love when my kids get excited about an idea! I have the teenagers and new teenagers! I love that they come up with great ideas! In fact they gave me the idea to do a donors choose to get a snow cone machine. They convinced me that it would be good for our business class and our concession stand for our softball games! I told them I would give it a try! They have such faith in me and I have faith in them. A lot of them even said we can get free labor because we all have to get so many volunteer hours! I love that they are truly thinking about this!

My Project

My business class will get to put their knowledge of what they have learned by starting their own snow cone business. It is a small but adventurous idea.

Not only will the create and run this business but it will also help benefit our softball teams concession stand!

They are truly finding more about themselves and their talents! The students are in groups, they know what teams are going to do what. With previous projects they know who works well with each other. They have recognized and designated jobs they think everyone will be good at. I can't wait to see how we do!
