Junior Achievement: Day 1

Mrs. Punches did a thing where Tyler started a business. Then his business started to get busier. Then he hired more people. After that he opened up another store. Then he hired people and got a manager. He opened up another shop and hired more people. After all that he opened up a factory. ...Nick

This week in J.A. I was the sole proprieter. Being the sole proprieter was fun. I owned 2 businesses. I think I'm going to be a sole proprieter when I grow up. It would be fun. ...Tyler

I was an auto mechanic and my bosses name was Tyler. I'm glad I was a mechanic because my dad is a mechanic. My step dad owns a business too. ...Austin C.

We learned the three kinds of business. One is called sole proprietorship that means a business is owned by an individual person. Another is partnership that means owned by two or more people. Another is corporation that means owned by stockholders. ...Tanner

It was fun to learn about a business and what kind of business there are. Mrs. Punches gave us stickers to put on our shirts pretending we had a business. I was the manager for a gas station. I am glad we are going to have J.A. on Wednesday. ...Nolan

I like Junior Achievement because we got to pretend that we had a business. I was the C.E.O. But the best part was talking about building bikes. ...Brandon G.

The first thing I liked was being in different groups to do jobs. The second thing I liked was learning how to make bicycles. Finally the last thing I liked is when she gave us magnets to take home. ...Angelica

Our class did an essay on disadvantages and advantages of having a partner help run the job or running it yourself. We got J.A. magnets to hang on the frigerator, and a postcard that told us what we will be doing when she comes back. ...Katie

In Social Studies we are doing Junior Achievement. First we talked about different kinds of businesses you can have. Then we pretended to start a business. The business we started was a gas station. I was the electrician. There were cashiers, owners, mechaneks, and of course more electritians. There were also corporations and stockholders. We learned a little about advirtising. We are going to do it again and we are going to make a product. I had fun doing it. ...Louise

Yesterday in Social Studies a lady named Mrs. Punches told us about jobs. I was an electrician for the Auto Repare. Jennica and Emily P. were the the electritions also. We had to fix light bulbs. Mrs. Punches made us all get in a group for a picture. Then it was time to go home. ...Alex

It was fun doing J.A. We got to learn what to do in a business. I was an auto macanick. Tyler was the one who hired me. it was fun playing that part. It was also cool talking about the different kinds of jobs. I really like doing J.A. ...Kyle

We talked about having jobs when we grow up. Mrs. Punches told us when you have a partnership you split the work. She told us when you own a company you can hire people and fire people. ...Chance

I was pretending to be an electrician. I fixed electric things in the car. Also I can put computers in the car. I got a nice raise because E-Z Mart was doing so well. I didn't even get fired. ...Emily P.

Mrs. Punches gave the whole class booklets about starting a businus. Mrs. Punches and her husband started Funb Stuff, so she knew how to start a businus. She said we will be selling stuff some day, but that is later. Mrs. Punches in a really fun person. ...Madalyn

I really enjoyed J.A. I enjoyed it at my old school, and I think I will like it now. ...Zac
