It's all about Conner


Conner had a great day on Friday! At school he has been studying economics. Today they had "Market Day" every 3rd grader had to make up a business plan and have a product or service to sell. Conner decided to name his store "The Wheel of Fortune" He was selling chocolate covered fortune cookies, but with a twist. He made a spinner with four colors on it. He had dipped the fortune cookies in chocolate and added colored sprinkles to match the spinner's colors. Depending on what color your spin landed is what colored fortune cookie you would get. We were very proud of him! Not only did he have a fun product, but he made it fun for his customers. Good job Conner! Infact, the whole 3rd grade did a great job! This week they will figure out what their profits were. :)
- for those wondering, the students didn't use real money. They earned money over the last few weeks in school and used that play money. :)


Conner also had a big evening! He belt tested at Sidekicks karate for his brown belt! He has done a great job in karate! There were some months that we thought he might drop out. But he has stuck with it and should be a black belt by next year at this time! We are so proud of him!
