This week was a very busy one for my group. A few times people were absent, making more work for the ones that were there, including myself. Although that was the case, we still got a lot done. With the deadline being today to finish storefront parts 1-6 and the packet for Mr. Gladstone, we had to rush to finish it. Madi and I finished parts five and six this week (finally) while others were hanging up flyers advertising our bracelets. Yesterday in class, we worked together to edit the packet for Mr. Gladstone and I wrote the intro letter for that packet.
We sold our bracelets twice this week- On Wednesday during first and second lunch (both of which I attended) and on Thursday during second lunch. We have already made around $130, if not more, especially off of the seniors.
I discovered that we shouldn't have got as many freshman bands and more senior ones. We know a lot of seniors, obviously, and it was easier to get all of them to buy our bands rather than people we have never seen or talked to before.
I am shocked at how many we've sold so far and I'm hoping to continue this project, eventually getting bracelets for sophomores and juniors. Rachel even went and bought Twix yesterday to give to everyone for free for buy a bracelet, which was a very smart idea.
Outside of class, I worked on my case study and edited our write ups.
I'm happy with the work accomplished this week. We stayed on schedule with what we needed to do and it worked out perfectly. I hope Mr. Gladstone reads our write up that we spent a long time preparing and that we will be able to sell more bracelets and even make a profit to order more.
You guys are doing great work. Let's talk in class this week about how you might be able to see more to the 9th graders. I have some ideas. I continue to be impressed with your work on both projects.
