Remember this post from last year?  How does she teach her kids about finance and business?

My 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Evans has done it again!  She has each of her students design a product and start the entrepreneur seed growing.

Remember how I thought my zip-lock on the top of brown sugar bags was my million dollar idea…then C&H had the same thought?!?

Do you see the soda pop pump!?!

She has developed econoME, an amazing program that helps teachers teach kids about finances and about how to become entrepreneurs.  The program incorporates finances and entrepreneurial-ism into the every day classroom management routine.  She has been working on this program since I was in 6th grade!  She has fine tuned it and is now helping other teachers learn how to make their classrooms run like a business.  She wants to help get it out to the classrooms.  So if you are a teacher or you think your kids teachers will like this program she is giving  away 20 memberships to www.starteconoME which includes econoME@home. Membership includes a weekly update, a how-to email and a weekly sampler email where she shares successful or fun lesson plans.
