We had a busy week full of geometry and learning about the early humans. We will continue these studies for a few more weeks and we will start a mini poetry unit next week.
Thank you parents who were able to come and chaperone our Orienteering trip today. We didn't have the best weather, but the kids had a pretty good time learning about directions while looking for controls and trying to earn their team the most points. Today, third graders are bringing home their speech assignment for the end of the year promotion celebration. Please help them get their thoughts and ideas on paper and then start practicing their speech so they will be ready to present to the class on the morning of May 23rd. After their speech, I will be presenting them with a going away class book. Parents are welcome to attend. All students have made great progress working with money this year! Although we had to cancel our trip to the bank, the bank will be coming to us on Monday to give a presentation about money management and business operations. You will find in homework folders today a business plan that we have been discussing in class. This week, in lieu of math homework, students may choose to create a business plan and product to "sell" at the business event we will be having in class on Tuesday. Some examples include origami, cookies, art work, etc. Each student will be given $25 dollars, play money of course, to use for their product production and to purchase items from other businesses. Please help your child create their business plan this weekend and return it on Monday so I can approve it and give them a business license to sell their product on Tuesday. Thank you for sending in extra snack last week! Snack helpers for next week are: Aidan, Nina, Erin, Mathais and Wyatt.
