Just Cookies

San Onofre 4th graders created a business: Just Cookies. Students created a business plan, estimated the number of cookies they needed to sell, and more...!

Just Cookies

A partnership opportunity happened in the fourth grade Just Cookies company, where students created a business plan, estimated the number of cookies they needed to sell to raise enough money for an overnight ocean trip, and determined the number of customers in the school and the number of sale days. They produced a TV commercial for Just Cookies that was shown on SOS TV throughout the school. When the students reached their profit goal they "leased" the business to another class who took it under "new management."
