Dear Parents,
On Tuesday, March 26th the fourth grade will be holding its annual Mountain Man Rendezvous. This activity will be part of our social studies curriculum and participation will be graded (personal responsibility). Students will gain a better understanding of basic economics, as well as how mountain men and early pioneers made and sold products. Students need to be present for this activity.
As part of this activity, the fourth graders 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, plants, 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 (no more than $10). Students will need to make 24 items to sell. NO real money will be used to purchase products; instead, students will be rewarded with “pelts” for behavior, assignments, and actions in class. Students will use their pelts to purchase the products made by other students.
Products will be DUE: MONDAY, March 25th in class. This will assure that students are ready to sell on Tuesday, as well as give time for teachers to help students price their product and make a poster in class. Parents you will also be invited to this fun event. You can help your child, but please make sure they do the selling. It will start at 1:30 in our Q1 gym. Be sure to see a teacher to get some pelts so you can do some shopping too!
Please email me if you have any questions!
Also watch for an electronic slip that you will need to sign acknowledging due dates.
We are doing readworks in the classroom to improve our reading ability and comprehension. Each week we have 2 new stories to focus on, plus if we did not pass the previous week’s stories, those are assigned again. Some students have expressed a desire to work at home to have parental help. If you, the parent helps, please encourage them to think and search the passage for the answer. When doing this at home, there is a code needed to log in. The code will appear if you hover your mouse over the side links. The code is: LPWLEB.
Yes, Thursday is Valentine’s Day. Yes, we are still doing tutoring for the group.
Sorry, January got away from us and we had some temporary blog issues where it wasn’t possible for me to add photos. Here are our January Students of the Week!
