Mountain Man Rendezvous

Parents, we will be having a Mountain Man Rendezvous at school (a.k.a. the Economics Fair) on Thursday, December 14th. Students will be required to make a product or plan a service to “sell” during the rendezvous. Some examples include: Native American Drums, flower pens, play dough, slime, hand warmers, jewelry, and crafts. No food items will be allowed. This product should be homemade. Students should use materials that can be found around the house to make their product. Any cost involved in purchasing materials should be minimal. Students will need to make 24 items to sell.  Please let the student’s make this product/service with minimal help for grown-ups.  

From now until the rendezvous, students will have the opportunity to earn “animal pelts”. This is our form of money. They will have a chance to earn 10 pelts each day (based on behavior). This is the currency they will use to buy things at the rendezvous. 

This is a really fun activity, so please fill out this Google Form as soon as possible!  Parents, you will be invite to attend at a later date.

I’ve also assigned a new (optional) leveled reader in Wonders for your child to read with you at home.  The students have been very excited about getting extra PELTS for completing this activity.  They have to read the ENTIRE book to receive these.  In addition to their 20 minutes required.  This is optional to do as homework.  I have attached a form to fill out if they complete this project.  This will let me know to award their pelts.

EXTRA PELT EARNED

Krillville (Must read entire book) 5 Pelts
A Better Way (Must read entire book) 5 Pelts

Lastly, The Utah Division of Water Resources is having a CONTEST!  It is their 32nd Annual Young Artists’ Water Education Poster Contest.  Here is some info about it….
