2nd Quarter optional BOOK REPORT PRESENTATIONS!!!!

If your child would like to present their book report this quarter on a Historical fiction or nonfiction. They may do so anytime until January 23rd. Just have them let me know what they created and what day they prefer to present. Thanks so much for still having your kids read at home. It makes a huge difference in their reading ability at school.

 Parents Just so you are aware! We have started Middle of year testing. It is helpful to have your kids not miss days if at all possible. Of course sickness and things come up which is understandable. Just let me know and we can work around those days and help them to complete what they need. Thanks so much!!

Our treasure box items are getting low and I would like to add to it. If anyone would like to donate a few things for the kids to choose from the treasure box that would be amazing. It doesn’t have to be much. They love having variety. You can just send it to school with your student if you’d like.

Thanks so much for all you do for me and for your kids.

Tomorrow (short day) Friday November 22 is  dollar dress down day!!!
Bring a $1 and dress down if you would like to participate.
If not just wear uniform or spirit shirt with uniform pants.

       

We will be out of school from November 25th-29th. Have a grateful and safe Fall Break!
See you back on Monday December 2nd 

We will be having our annual 4th grade Rendezvous (a.k.a. the Economics Fair) the last week before Christmas Break on Thursday, December 19th at 2:15 PM. It will be held in the Q1 Gym. 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 24 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 is filled with free supplies.) 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. The kids will be learning about economics this month. But as their parent, talk to them about why it is a good sales strategy to 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, December 16. This will assure that students are ready to sell that week. It will also 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.
