Winner of Create a BookMark
I was just reading The Amazing Adventures of Reading on the couch. It was such a good book until my mother called me to come and eat. I slipped my bookmark in my book and went to eat. Huh! Why did I have to stop reading. I wish I were reading all day and night! Then suddenly my book flew open and sucked me right in. I woke up feeling strangely flat. I looked up and there was a mirror in front of me. I screamed. I was a bookmark. I was the bookmark that I designed. I screamed again.
"Honey wake up!" my mother yelled. I woke up and jumped around. "Am I sill a bookmark?" "What?," my mom asked as I looked in the mirror. I sighed as I saw in the mirror that I was a little girl. "Never mind."

How We Organize Ourselves
As part of our economic planner, we explored assembly lines and the types of resources required to make an assembly line work. In the classroom, we tried various ways of weaving paper rugs using this method. After establishing, a boss, two assistant managers and a quality control station we ended up with over 23 "rugs." The Soaring Pilots began to brainstorm who would want these and could they create a demand to sell them. As we continued to work together to figure out this dilemma the idea for a store emerged. Products were created, demand was created and a time for the store was advertised. As you can see, the store was a hugh hit and we ended up selling out of many products. The next step is to budget our profit by spending some, saving some and donating to a worthy cause.
Production Day for Imagination Creations
Here are The Soaring Pilots working on production of their goods for the store. Some friends are working on duct tape products, paper products or journals. Others are working on how to create a demand for the products and invitations to come to the store.
