Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 12-2-14

Parents,


Fourth Grade Entrepreneurs.   Your child has a letter describing an exciting upcoming Social Studies project.  The students will be learning about economics this year by starting their own "slime" business.  (This is taking the place of what was formerly the "Treat Shop" project.)  Your child will need to bring $1 to invest into this business.  This money is needed by Thursday, December 4th to buy supplies.  The goal is to turn a profit and for each student to earn their $1 back.  Any additional profits will then be donated to needy families in the community.

Multiplication Pizza Party - If your child mastered multiplication before Thanksgiving break, they have earned a special pizza party this Friday.  Still looking for juice box donations for Mrs. Vanderstelt's class.  All set for Mr. Pransky and Mrs. Dressel's classes.

Student Writing Around Town: We finished up our persuasive paragraphs about a great business in Whitehouse to go to.  Most paragraphs (General's Ice Cream and Butterfly House are closed for the season) have been delivered and are hanging up inside!  Copies of student paragraphs will be coming home today.  Please make sure you check out the business your child chose, and see if his/her writing is on display!
