I would like to congratulate the 6th graders for a job well done. You all should be very proud of your commitment to hard work, creativity and excellence! A special thank you to the following students:
Presenters: Daria Thomas, Myles Herrera-Pease, Isabel Rapier, Elise Russ, Robert Walters and Carter Peatman.
Set/Display Designers: Ian Roach, Malik Woods, Kathryn Murphy
This week students will explore the concept of Market Research. Market Research is the process of finding out what people in your community need, where and when they need it, and how much they are willing to pay for it. This concept will be fused with our class session/entrepreneurial project- an anthology of poems, artwork and writings by ACMS 6th graders about the transition from elementary to middle school. Our goal is to allow the students to reflect on their experiences this year, while offering advice, encouragement and anecdotes for parents and incoming 6th graders. This project will fuse Job Club and Self-Expression; allowing young people to express themselves in various mediums and develop a business as well. It will be framed in the context of Chicken Soup for the soul series.
Additionally, we will begin planning for a culminating spring themed event, to take place at the end of the school year. This event will feature theatrical productions, games, activities and food for the ACMS community.
Have a great week!
