RENDEZVOUS
We will hold our annual 4th-grade Rendezvous (a.k.a. the Economics Fair) on Thursday, December 19th, the last week before Christmas Break. More information on previous post.
To be ready for this event, students will need to make 30 products or plan a service to “sell” during the rendezvous (please keep the expense very low. I recommend making each item well under the value of $1. Be creative and use things you already have. Nature if filled with free supplies.) Some examples are shown below. Please no food or Orbeez.

Polar Express Party-Winter Party
Students who have reached 99% in REFLEX will be invited to come to Polar Express Party.
To celebrate, we are going to be watching the movie for our winter party. The party will be on Friday, December 20th. This movie is rated “G.” Please let me know if you would like your child to participate in another activity that day instead of watching the movie. We will be having hot chocolate, popcorn, and fun!
Students may wear clean pajamas to school that day. They can bring a small pillow, blanket, and stuffed animal to use during the show. Kids can snack on treats they brought from home (it can be healthy or sweet). Remember NO PEANUTS or snacks containing peanuts. They can bring a closable drink too.
NOTE: anything they bring may not be shared with other students Remember we have a short day this day.
PLANNING AHEAD: Besides watching the movie, we will have a gift exchange. Please send your child with a $3-$5 gift to share. They may also regift a gently used item/toy. Please bring the gift wrapped. I will gladly accept any extra gift you can send for children that don’t bring on. I will not need any volunteers for this day. If you would like to participate in the fun, you can sure stop by for a little bit.
What we are learning Dec. 2nd-13th.
