Since one of Metropolitan’s values is Entrepreneurship, we decided to integrate that value with our lesson. “Entrepreneurship is the process of designing a new business or offering a product, process or service.” so, our Grade 1 Navy class decided to create a business and sell Valentine Grams for Valentine’s Day. They spent all week taking turns cutting hearts, some pasting hearts on bags, while others delivered candy grams.
While learning about how to create a business or work at a job, they also learned about giving back. They learned when you make money it’s very important to give back. After Grade 1 Navy students sold every candy gram, they decided to give all of their profit to charity.
