So I thought it would be fun to post some of the soaps my kids made today in class on my blog! In case you don't know about it, I do a really cool unit with my students in CTE Intro, formerly known as TLC. Some of you might have taken it. I get new kids every quarter, and by the end of the year I have had every 7th grader. So I have this unit where the kids get to make soap. They have to name it, give it slogan, figure out the production cost, and then figure out their price. They make posters and advertise it at a big Soap Fair where kids from other classes come through and vote on their favorite. Each vote counts as a sale, and at the end we figure out how much money they made by multiplying their profit per bar by how many bars they sold! So today we made the soaps, and all told there are 36. Here are a few of my favorites.
If you want to see them all, go the the
school website. I am the webmaster of my school, so I get to promote all kinds of stuff about my program unabashed. It's fabulous. I'd love to know what ya'll think, and better yet--which is your favorite! Just write a comment with the class period and group number that you like best. My students would love to know that their soap is the favorite of adults!

No Rats Sraw soaps this time? Rats sraw is 'Star Wars' backwards and exactly what happens when kids place the letters upside down in the molds!
Sorry I couldn't come and help today. I love helping on production day but I'll be there next week for the fair.
Well, there was ONE soap that was supposed to say HCO, standing for Hollister Company. And it came out OCH.
you can sure tell the difference between the group that is mostly girls and the groups that are mostly guys! They are much better than I could do. But I think my favorite is......crap now I can't remember I think it was group 10
o.k. nope it wasn't group 10 it was group 7 of the first groups
