- We have a snack break in the mornings. Your child is welcome to bring a small snack from home to enjoy during this time. If you are able to send in snack donations, we truly appreciate it!
- As we navigate sickness, we are consistently in need of tissues. Any donations are always appreciated!
Baby Shark Tank - Project Based Learning
Students will also have the opportunity to watch real "Shark Tank" product pitches and analyze what makes them weak and strong in terms of economics. From this, students will understand what goes into developing a solid, realistic product/pitch.
As young entrepreneurs, they will be tasked with developing a good that meets a relevant need in our society/community. They will work together to advertise their good. Finally, they will pitch their good to a panel of judges that will either "accept" or "reject" their proposal.
This will be a unique, hands-on, way for students to fully understand economics and entrepreneurship! Mark your calendars, student presentations will be March 26, 27, and 28th, 2024, from 1:00 - 2:20 pm in the Cafeteria, here at Dixie! These young entrepreneurs would love to pitch their concepts to you, we hope to see familiar faces in the audience!
