AURORA, Colo. — At Iowa Elementary School in Aurora, a recent lesson for the fourth graders is paying off for the whole school.Fourth grade teacher Cara Schlichting wanted to find a way to connect the kids with their community, so last year she helped them create a business fair to sell homemade products.
Diamanta Destin’s group made slime with charms in it, and sold it for two dollars, raking in over $100 on the day of the fair.“They were just coming like wildfire, and almost all of our slime was gone,” Destin said.Natan Hailu made origami and used sales tactics they learned from a professional salesperson who came in to help.“The main thing that I learned was first, be kind to the customer,” Hailu said.At the end of the day, the kids raised $1,148 for their school.
