Summary: |
|||||||||
| This is the true story of how 3 children began a business, first making Christmas wreaths and later adding other products. | |||||||||
Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Math and economics are natural extensions of this delightful book. Learners may enjoy consulting the glossary of business terms that concludes the book. Links to people who have begun their own businesses make sense, as does using the book to talk/write about budgeting or helping children develop ways to earn money. Learners may even be motivated to develop a class business, or they may wish to learn (and then share) the history of a locally owned business in their communities. | |||||||||
