​Kids Can Be Entrepreneurs

This week we worked with fourth graders to explore the ways local businesses and communities are connected.  We read the story Food from the ‘Hood, about students from Crenshaw High School who started a small vegetable farm at school that became a successful produce and salad dressing business.  Following their inspiration, we planted enough lettuce to feed the entire fourth grade!  We played games designed to help us find our own creative “sparks” and had a “silent conversation” on paper reflecting on the role of business in society.  The students had lots of great ideas and are looking forward to a salad party when their lettuces mature.
