Class read - LAWN BOY

We are halfway though our class read LAWN BOY.
Lawn boy was given a second hand ride on lawn mower for his 12th birthday.

He gives it a go and his neighbor asks if he will cut his lawn. He agrees and then another neighbor asks if he will also cut his lawn. He goes from broke to 'RICH' in no time.

Three weeks after starting his lawn mowing he has 12 people working for him, more than $8000 in cash and investments.

We are learning about a lots of new vocabulary while reading.

Supply and Demand
Distributing Wealth
Diversifying labor
Capitalism
Gross income and Net Income
Stocks and Stockbrokers
Trade, Assets and Investment
