Eric was studying about economics in his third grade class. The school holds a "County Fair" every year where the third graders can provide a product or a service that other students can purchase. Eric decided to make lightsaber bookmarks. Patrick cut some construction paper strips with my paper cutter. Eric glued the pieces together and did some additional freehand trimming. Patrick then used my old laminator to laminate the bookmarks. I usually have to handle these sorts of craft projects, but Patrick took care of it this time, and the two of them did a fantastic job.
Eric sold the bookmarks for fifteen cents apiece. He was supposed to make at least 30 of them. One of our good friends saw them and wanted to buy three this morning, but Eric only had the 30 and had to bring them all to school. He ended up selling all but seven of them. Of those, he gave three of them away to friends. What a little entrepreneur!
