Gardner Edgerton School District 231

Fourth graders at Edgerton Elementary put their business skills to the test! Students worked diligently to create the “Krispie Krunchers,” a rice krispie treat business tied to their Social Studies unit on business and economics. Tasks included creating advertisements, calculating costs, shopping for ingredients, and making the treats themselves. This year, the class raised about $80 for Student Council funds! Teachers say the hands-on project is a favorite each year and helps students connect classroom learning to real-life experiences. The experience has even inspired several students to start thinking about businesses of their own at home!
