NO TUTORING THIS WEEK-thanks

I am excited to see what the kids have been working on for the upcoming rendezvous! Remember that the products/crafts are due in one week! See the previous post for more details.

Several parents haven’t signed the permission slip. Here is the link again: Rendezvous permission slip

REMEMBER:

• Bring 24 items each.
• Same “type” of product/craft/object.  Small differences are fine. Spend as little as possible.
• Students should be making the project themselves with minimal adult help-please.
• Signs will be made in the classroom on Monday. I will provide all of the supplies needed.

We will be having our annual 4th grade Rendezvous (a.k.a. the Economics Fair) on Tuesday, March 26th. It will be held in the Q1 Gym from 1:30-2:30. This is a fun activity for all who come! ALL are welcome including smaller siblings. Guests will receive complementary “pelts” at the door to spend too. 

To be ready for this event, students will need to make a product or plan a service to “sell” during the rendezvous. Some examples are (but not limited to): Use your imagination. We have had in the past: flower pens, play dough, slime, hand warmers, jewelry, and other simple crafts. You pick what you would like to bring BUT no food items will be allowed. Remember what you have learned about economics, make something that no one else has. That way, you can charge more for the product because you won’t have any competition. HIGH DEMAND=MORE SALES/PROFIT  😉 Your overall profit will reward you with bragging rights. We don’t use any “real” money.

From now until the rendezvous, students will have the opportunity to earn “animal pelts.” This is our form of money/currency given out by 4th Grade Teachers to be used to buy things at the rendezvous from other students. You will turn in your paper pelts afterwards. Whatever you choose to make 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 students make this product/service with minimal help from grown ups.  Rendezvous items are due Monday, March 25. This will assure that students are ready to sell on Tuesday and give time for teachers to help students price their product and make a poster in class. AGAIN, the product posters are being made in class.

Lastly, please fill out this Google Form to allow your student to participate. 


Feel free to email me with any additional questions.
