Mrs. Peterson's 6th-grade students engaged in a lesson focused on entrepreneurship and economics. They collaborated in teams to create an original invention or business idea. Afterward, they developed a "Shark Tank" style presentation to try to convince some savvy "sharks" to invest in their businesses. There was a lot of hard work and creativity throughout the process!
