We are starting a unit in
school called Junior Achievements. A lady named Mrs. Punches was
teaching us. (It's April 18th, 2011.) Today we made a business We had 5
locations. They were Onekama, Mount Pleasant, Traverse City, Toledo, and
Santa Cruz. We sold popcorn, ice cream, and slushies. I got to be an
owner with D'Angelo. Brendan was our Santa Cruz manager. It was fun.
Junior Achievements is about economics. We learned there are 3 types of
businesses: a sole proprietorship, a partnership, and a corporation. Our
business today was a corporation. A corporation is a business that is
owned by people called stockholders. Stockholders are people who put
money into the business so they can expand. A partnership is a business
owned by two or more people. A sole proprietorship is where there is
only one person in the entire business. The only person gets to keep all
the money and make all the decisions. I learned a lot in one day.

Today Mrs. Punches came to
our class to teach us about the Junior Achievement. We pretended to open
a popcorn store. Then we had to hire people and then we opened a ice
cream shop. Then the popcorn and ice cream shop combined. Then they
decided to put slushies in the stores also. Then they opened four more
stores I was a truck driver and then I was the owner of one store.

April 4, 2011 Mrs.
Punch came in and she talked about Junior Achievement. We learned how to
sort of run a business. We made a slushy shop, a ice cream shop, and a
popcorn shop. It was pretty fun. I was a business manager. I liked it.
There were two bosses and three cashiers and two business managers and
all the other stuff. I learned quite a bit. ~Ben A.
Mrs. Punches came to the
fourth grade to talk about business. She made a popcorn stand and picked
people to work there. I was an assistant of the main manager. I even got
my own nametag. When I grow up I will be a farmer with my own market.
