re you looking to
earn some money
this summer?
You can become an
entrepreneur! That’s
a person who starts a
business.
Fill in the missing vowels
to discover some ideas for
types of businesses YOU
can start this summer!
An entrepreneur (on-trah-preh-nyur) is a person
who sees a way to earn some money by solving a
particular problem.
One way to make money is to get a job. But that is not possible for
everyone. Often times kids can’t get jobs because they are too young.
But that hasn’t stopped kids around the world from finding clever
ways of earning some cash. Some kids, like Jason, turn doing
something they love into a way of earning money.
For example, lots of kids have learned that thirsty
people on hot days will pay for a cold glass of
lemonade.
Look at each of the following pictures. Write down ways a
business you could start might be able to help.
Can you see the job opportunity in each of these
pictures? Look at each picture. What problems do
you see here?
What kind of
help might
they be
willing to
pay for?

This week’s word:
OPPORTUNITY
The noun opportunity means
a chance, especially one that
offers some kind of reward.
Taylor got the opportunity
to see his name in print when
his essay was published in
the newspaper.
Try to use opportunity
in a sentence today when
talking with your friends
and family members.
What’s the Difference?
Look through the newspaper for five prices
under $100. Round each one to the nearest
dollar. Then look for five prices over $100
and round them to the nearest dollar. Have
a parent or friend check your work.
What is the difference between
a “want” and a “need”? Give
an example of each by writing
about something that you
“want” and something that
you “need.”
Standards Link: Number Sense: Round to the nearest dollar.
