Their teacher, Anna Mastrantoni, used this store to help them learn the basics of business. The students would sell all kinds of school supplies, like shirts, folders, totes, and even water bottles. Mastrantoni taught the students about how they should have seasonal items or items for specific holidays. This can increase business and profit because they are limited edition products. She helps the students keep track of their profits in spreadsheets and documents. The teacher and students wanted to make their store an actual store. They all worked hard to raise money so they can make a venture business. The students think strategically as they think about what items their peers would like.Last semester in Unit 4, we learned about venture businesses and entrepreneurs.

We also learned about how some products may only come in certain seasons or holidays which is what their fifth-grade teacher is teaching them.
