Service Learning Week #6

This week was very progressive. There was a lot of good and not a lot of bad. My group cleaned up the room for our future store, we went on a walking trip and found products for our store and designs were made for our room.
We began our day by cleaning up our room for our store. The room was filthy when we opened up the room, by the way we have switched rooms and now have a bigger room. Even though the room we have now is bigger it is filthy and will need a lot of cleaning up and hardcore floor scrubbing. With this in mind, I might ask for a buffer or scrubbing utensil to clean that room.
One group went out to stores in the Gallery to research products to sell in our store. We tried K-mart, but they had nothing we could use. We then went to the store 5-Below and found all of these neat and useful items for our store. We found popular school supplies, there were pencils and pens with princess and Disney characters. All of these things are very popular and we are confident that they will sell. We will use the list we made to figure out the prices for the stuff and figure out how we can make a profit.
While one group was researching products another group was at school designing a layout for the store. Some ideas were very good, like instead of using the shelves which would require approval from the building owner, we could use the bookcases like in the library. We also have a lot more room so we will be able to fit more and have a lot more flexibility with out store and design.
Overall this week was very good. I have to give grades to everyone and I am not going easy or letting anyone slide, because they are my friend. This last week will be very laid back, but I will make sure everyone id doing work or else there will not be any chance of their grade going up.
