5th Grade Market Day

 So in 5th Grade after studying about economics they have a Market Day where each student has to come up with a product to sell.  Over the break, Scott made a trial batch of "Munchable Moon Rocks".  He found the recipe in a library book and decided that was what he wanted to make for his product.  They are no bake cookies with melted marshmallows, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and Rice Krispies cereal.  In computer class they have to make a brochure with pictures to advertise their product.

 They are required to find the cost of the raw materials and when market day is over, pay that amount back to their parents.  Then they get to keep half of their profit and the other half is given to a nearby orphanage that the school helps support-pretty neat!

 
 For his brochure, he needed pictures of people tasting his product-so above, we recruited our driver and house helper!  Scott is going to wear his astronaut dress up suit to sell the "moon rocks"

Below Ashley and Ryan were happy to taste as well.  I thought they were pretty good!

 Scott and Greg set this up to film the commercial.  Scott did not appear in the commercial but there was a lego astronaut who talked to Houston about the problem of what to do with all the munchable moon rocks he was bringing back.  Houston suggested that he sell them at the 5th Grade Market Day.  They had lots of fun putting the commercial together. 

 Scott also took some moon rocks to school to let his classmates taste and some teachers too.  Scott said that they were popular and I think he is even more excited about market day now!  I will have to get some pictures of him actually selling them and will post later this month!
