Enterprise City

Sheela’s class spent the day at Enterprise City yesterday.  They each had to apply for a job by writing a resume of sorts.  Sheela worked in the gift shop.  She worked for three hours earning three pay checks of $4.50 each which she had to spend on her breaks.  The other stores/businesses included a snack shop, a bank, a newspaper, police station and a radio station.  The businesses had to collect money for services, or sales, pay their employees and purchase advertising.  Her store won the award for the most profitable of the day (they made a whole $1.50 profit).  Apparently a good time was had by all.  I asked her to buy me a newspaper (mostly ads and two sentence stores), she bought Sid a T-shirt, the rest of her money she spent on bouncy balls and junk.

Sounds like a really good learning experience. I'm all for that sort of exercise.
