Yesterday our homeschool group had a nice little pre-holiday* gift fair, and in order to satisfy our family's ever-eager penchant for creating and consuming baked goods, we suggested a bake sale table. It was great! We had so much fun baking all day Sunday, and I was so proud of my busy little entrepreneurs yesterday at the sale. In the end we earned $101 for the Thanksgiving Community Meal Program here in town, and all those recipes and all that change-making were great little real-life math lessons, too.
When I asked MRD about her favorite part of running the bake sale, I expected her to say baking--perhaps sneaking chocolate kisses from the cookies, licking the beaters, or test-eating cookies--or selling all those goodies, or even making the poster, which was quite a work of art. Nope, none of the above--it was counting up all the money at the end! My little capitalist! :)
* By "holiday" I mean Thanksgiving and Christmas,
not a non-specific wintertime festival.
