This Friday, our class will be having a guest speaker come join us for the Junior Achievement Program! We will also be welcoming ten other students from across the hall to attend.
The course is day-long and focuses on Financial Literacy and Work Readiness. The course description reads:
"Grade 5 Business Basics: Our Business World
Our Business World gives elementary school students experience making big decisions in different areas of a small manufacturing operation. Students explore the many aspects of business, hands-on. Students put their talent to the test in the organization, management, production and marketing of their very own pen factory. By experimenting with real world business challenges, they discover the value of working smart and the career opportunities that await educated employees. "
