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

2. Field Trip – This Is The Place
In preparation for our 4th-grade field trip on Thursday, October 6th, there are a couple things we need to make sure everyone is aware of.
Students and the chosen class chaperones need to be on time (8:25 am) to school that morning. Chaperones, please pay your admission fee at Quest ($7). The bus will be loaded promptly at 8:45am. We will be traveling by bus to “This Is The Place Heritage Park” in Salt Lake City. Since the bus ride is about an hour long, students are allowed to bring a book or small cards to play with on the bus. NO ELECTRONICS — including cell phones will be permitted. Cell phones will not be allowed because they can’t be safely monitored by teachers. Please go over with your student proper bus behavior before that morning. We should arrive at “This Is The Place” around 9:50-10:00 am.
Students will still be required to wear their school uniforms on the field trip. Students will also need to bring a light jacket or hoodie with them as we will be at the base of the canyon and it tends to have chilly mornings. They may bring along a small water bottle as well. Each student will also need a backpack that day to hold their own jackets, lunches, and water bottles. If they ordered school lunch they will receive it that morning to carry. If they are bringing home lunch, make sure it does not need to refrigerated and dont forget to bring it (students cannot share food). Chaperones will also need to bring a lunch that day.
We will be reloading buses at 1:30 pm and will arrive back at school at about 2:30 pm. Your students will be back in time for the normal after-school pick-up.
If you have not already taken care of the $5 student fee, please pay at the office or online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing Peay field trip fee. Please pay this fee A.S.A.P.
We hope for a fun day with all of our students. Thanks ,The 4th-grade teachers
