Valentine's Day in Room 12

Blog post by students of room 12.


In the morning we made pouches for our Valentines. 
We put our names at the top of the paper and glued hearts all around the front.
Mr. Duffy called us up one-by-one to pick our new books.
We all loved finding and then reading other classmates books.

Mr. Panos visit

Classroom Visit by Parent
Blog designed by Lucas, Alex, and Noah

Mr. Panos, Alex's dad, came to our classroom last Friday and taught us about entrepreneurs. 
We worked in groups to find profits of our newly produced products.
Entrepreneurs are not always successful at first.  Never giving up is a very important lesson to learn. 
We learned how hard it is to be an entrepreneur. It's a lot harder than you would think! Of course we needed a little help.


Sometimes we overreacted and got a little bit too excited!
We learned that you subtract your expenses from your revenue to get you profit. We also learned about Phil Knight, the creator of Nike.
We agreed on a group CEO. The CEO was the leader and presenter for the group.  Mr. Panos helped us out with some of the profit calculations.
Feel free to come in any time and talk about your hobbies or job(s). You can also be a mystery reader for our class. Email Mr. Duffy at sduffy@boxfordschools.org. 
                                                           THANK YOU MR. PANOS!
