Starmount Middle School Students Learn About Accounting

Students in Mrs. Matthews' Exploring Business and Entrepreneurship classes work as accountants on their Lemonade Stand project.

Students have to create a lemonade recipe, account for purchasing supplies and set a price for selling their product.  Income and expenses are entered on a ready-made spreadsheet and they determine after 14 days if they have had an income or loss.

Great example of real- world learning!
