School Store

Every fifth grader in Ms. Hansen's class gets to experience the class store. Every student has the opportunity to figure out what they would like to sell at their own store in the classroom. This is no easy undertaking. Every student must apply for a loan and meet the proper expectations if they want their loan approved. Once the paper work is accomplished, the student can then set into work and get their product ready for sale. The entire school is invited to attend the store and buy what they wish. (in Hansenville currency of course:).

Lilli decided that she would like a cupcake store. Now, normally this would be fine, but between me being 9 months pregnant and the store taking place a few weeks before Christmas...it was a tad on the difficult side. We set to work though and it all turned out terrific. We made these very fun snowflake cupcakes. We made tons and tons of cupcakes 3 Fridays in a row! I wish I had more pictures. We also made lots of mini cupcakes which we figured were a bigger profit margin. (store is every Friday for 3 weeks). I am happy to report that Lilli's cupcake store was a huge success! She sold out of cupcakes in the first 10 minutes and had earned enough money to pay back her loan. Good work Lilli!
