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!

Holiday Party

Yesterday we had our holiday party.  The students had fun making snowmen out of socks and rice.  Thank you so much to our parent volunteers - Mrs. Pelletier, Mrs. Blanchette, Mrs. Bruker, and our class photographer Mr. Micalizzi.  Also, thank you to all of the parents that brought in snacks and goods for the party.

Games were played and treats were enjoyed.  Sweet tart candy canes helped color the mood (and tongues) bright!!!!


I hope you all have a wonderful holiday break.  See you in the New Year!!!!!
