Don’t Forget About Our May Home Project
May: Book Report
We will be sharing one of our favorite books to the class in a fun creative way. Students can make a diorama, create a puppet play, make a time line, design a book jacket, etc. Be creative! This is a great way to keep students excited and engaged in reading over the summer.
Store
I apologize for neglecting to inform you about store before I was left for the Redwoods field trip. During the month of May, students are able to earn classroom currency. This helps to reinforce their knowledge of money and utilize it in a practical life application within the classroom. On Thursday, May 24th, students will have their store day. Each student will open their own business and will also be able to shop other stores using their classroom currency. Students may choose to create their own business, but should not go to an actual store to purchase things to sell. Some ideas from the past: a students who collects rocks opened a rock shop, a child who enjoys drawing opened an art store, a child who loves writing created books, magic tricks, and so much more. I have had students make slime, friendship bracelets, origami, play dough, sculptures, etc. Students may also sell old/ unwanted items, if the value is more than a dollar, please send a note signed that they have permission to sell the items. Also, I will allow for students to sell trinkets, such as birthday party favors and such, again, only if you have these items in excess at home, they should not be purchased for the sake of store. If you have questions, please feel free to email me.
Thank you
