These treats will be sent home so that parents can decide if their child can have them. No candy treats will be consumed in class. Please let me know of any allergies your child may have. There are 27 students in our class. If your child brings something to pass out, they must bring enough for everyone. Please don’t label them, just sign their name. We will pass out cards/treats at the end of the day. Students my bring a Valentine’s box to collect cards/prizes in. If they don’t bring one, I will have a brown bag for them to use.

Upcoming Rendezvous-We will be having our annual fourth grade Rendezvous (a.k.a. the Economics Fair) on Thursday, Dec 15th. 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 complementary “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):
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 afterwards. Whatever you choose to make should be homemade or a kit (Amazon has several-but order 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 their product-don’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 12th. This will assure that students are ready to sell on Thursday and give time for me 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. tpeay@questac.org
