We have been working very hard to be proficient in multiplication facts! We have a few kids that are still trying to master these skills. Please help them by practicing at home.

Students will need to know their MULTIPLICATION FACTS! Please have your child work on their facts at home whenever you can. If they have reached 80% in their REFLEX account have already qualified. Any student under that percent will need to prove to me that they have them learned before the party (verbally, using flashcards, or reflex 80 %)

To celebrate, we are going to be watching the movie for our winter party. The party will be on Friday, December 15. 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.

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). 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.

Please fill out the Polar Express permission form here.

Please remember: Mt Man rendezvous is Thur. Dec 14th. 30 homemade items are due on Mon. Dec 11th.(see previous post) Also Polar Express party is Friday Dec 15th. 80% or higher in Reflex is needed to attend. Yes, they can work on it at home.

Upcoming Rendezvous– We will be having our annual fourth-grade Rendezvous (a.k.a. the Economics Fair) on Thursday, Dec 14th. It will be held in the Q1 Gym from 2:00-3:00. This is a fun activity for all who come! ALL are welcome including smaller siblings. Guests will receive complimentary “pelts” at the door to spend too.

In the next month, we will be learning about economics and rendezvous as part of our Utah history lessons. This activity will help students gain a better understanding of basic economics as well as how mountain men and early pioneers made and sold products. This activity is part of our social studies curriculum. All students are encouraged to participate and will need to be present on the day of the activity.

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):

Feel free to email me with any additional questions

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. We will be using rendezvous “paper pelts.”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 afterward. Whatever you choose to make should be homemade or a kit (Amazon has several orders soon). Don’t stress about this project, you can paint/use markers to color rocks and call it good.

Remember***you want to have a product kids want to buy in the end though*** Students should use materials that can be found around the house to make sure their product doesn’t break the bank. Any cost involved in purchasing materials should be minimal. Students will need to make 30 items to sell. Please let the students make this product/service with minimal help from grown-ups. Rendezvous items are due Monday, Dec 11th. This will ensure that students are ready to sell on Thursday and give time for me to help students price their products 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.
