Business Month - Accelerated math students are busy calculating annual financial statements based on their store “sales.” They are headed to a Board Room at the end of the month to present their profit and loss statements. Amazing creativity this year!!

Business Week turned into Business Month this year due to hurricane interruptions. Accelerated math students hand made samples to “sell” during class. Based on those sales, they estimated annual sales, applied for small business loans, and calculated state sales tax.

Business Week at Wilson! Students developed unique business plans, calculated costs, markups, discounts, sales tax, and “sold”handmade products to each other in math class this week. Incredible creativity from these future business leaders!!

Living things must constantly adapt to their ever changing environments. Today, 3rd grade @rpk8magnet arrived to a VERY different environment and had to learn to adapt (and they DID!!). This provocation today helped begin our new IB unit about plant and animal adaptations.
