Junior Achievement

This past week in our Junior Achievement lessons, we created our own business ideas based on a specific US  region and we also got to play a game called "Hot Dog Stand."  In this game, we kept track of money that we spent and money that we made with our business throughout the game.  Then we did the math to figure our profit or loss.  It was a lot of fun!
