This week the second grade companies at Bishop Dunn Memorial produced their friendship bracelets; it was a good learning experience for everyone. Starting to make the bracelets was a little difficult, but all of the companies were enthusiastic about producing their product. After watching the video on how to make the friendship bracelets, and purchasing the string and tape, the companies made a prototype so they could begin production. The companies had to make business decisions during the production stage; they how to predict many bracelets they would make in a day and predict how much money they would make. I believe the companies were surprised when they had over predicted with an average of forty bracelets and eighty dollars per day. The reality of the business world came to fruition for the companies as they worked through their decision making. Another business task for the companies this week was to create the design of the packaging and an advertisement for marketing their products. As the companies worked cooperatively, I believe they realized that working for the good of their company was paying off; they seemed to worked more productively as their products increased in size. All of the companies created interesting package designs and advertisements ranging from songs to posters. I believe the companies are prepared and very excited to start selling their product.
