Westerly, Normandy students keyed up about business

The 2011-2012 First-Fourth Key Chain Company is off to a great start! The fourth-graders in Mrs. Woodburn and Mrs. Mahall’s class at Westerly School in Bay Village and Mrs. Glinka’s first-graders at Normandy School have been hard at work making key chains to sell at each school on February 8, 9, and 10.

The two classes met four times. The first meeting was a meet-and-greet where ideas and stories were shared. Pictures of the “buddies” were taken and made into a wonderful album to share with the families. 

The second meeting was dedicated to building the company and learning the basics of economics. The third and fourth meetings were production days. Beads, beads, everywhere. What a great time, and in the end, nearly 1,500 key chains were produced.

Sale dates at both Westerly and Normandy are February 8, 9 and 10.  Each keychain costs $1.00 and will most certainly add some “bling” to your back-pack.
