Planning the Store:

1. Idea Sharing:

   • With the help of our teachers, we discussed the idea of starting a store to provide basic stationery and snacks to students.
   • We decided to call it the "Students’ Cooperative Store".

2. Team Formation:

   • Our teacher assigned roles to different students:
     1. Manager: To oversee operations.
     2. Accountant: To maintain records of sales and expenses.
     3. Storekeepers: To arrange items and serve customers.
     4. Marketing Team: To inform other students about the store.

3. Choosing Items:

   • We made a list of items to sell:
     • Stationery: Pencils, erasers, notebooks, and rulers.
     • Snacks: Biscuits, chips, and juice packets.
     • Art Supplies: Crayons, colors, and chart papers.

4. Budget and Funding:

   • Each student contributed a small amount to set up the store, and our teacher helped us with an initial fund.
