Having a student business has SO MANY benefits. Depending on what your product is, you have the opportunity to practice independence, money math, cooking, responsibility, and so much more! For classrooms that do not have to focus on academics as much, this is the perfect place to start! You can make it something as small as a once-a-year event if your class is unable to take too much time off for the business. The possibilities are endless, and it really just depends on what resources you have access to, and what your students are interested in doing!
Valentine’s Day is a great opportunity to craft and sell something that people can gift to their friends or secret admirers! Not only that, but this is also a unique opportunity to include the added job skill of delivering orders to the correct person/classroom on a specific date. Below are DIY Valentine’s Day-themed ideas:
As always, assess the safety risk and appropriateness of a business depending on your environment and students’ levels, and ask your administration for permission before implementing any plans.
