Ms. Bunny's Class Store

Ms. Bunny has a group of entrepreneurs setting up shop and making money for their class.  A small group of children gathered together one FUN FRIDAY and starting making stuff they thought they could sell.  They set up shop selling their homemade items for $.25 to $1.  Some larger items had a price tag as much as $5.

It wasn't long before students started bringing unwanted items from home to sell.  At the pancake breakfast the store made $25.  The total to date the store has brought in is nearly $100.  The class has still to decide how they will spend their earnings.
