Market Day Pictures and a Look at Next Week

Market Day was great!!! Above you can see the students preparing for the big event! Don't miss the commercials the students made. You can view them by clicking "Handey Helpers on Schooltube." (You have to click "Show All" to be able to see them all.) Also, "Morning Message" filmed right from our room Friday.  The next set of pictures will show the products that were for sale!

I was impressed with their great products. Next,  you can see students busy buying, selling, and showing their business to visiting friends. Many visitors came to see our class economy in action including Mr. Neu, Mrs. Osmer, Mrs. Hasty, and other classes. We appreciate all of the sweet encouragement!

Wednesday we enjoyed learning from a special guest. We owe Wat Johnston (Watkins's dad) a big "thank you" for sharing with us about his "real world" businesses. He helped show us that what we are learning in Social Studies and practiced with our Market Day Project directly connects to what he does everyday. Thank you, Mr. Johnston! (See the pictures of his visit below.)


Now for a look at what to expect this week:

ITBS TESTING!!! We will be testing all week. Please make sure that your child has two, #2 pencils with good erasers. Also, students will perform better with plenty of rest and a nutritious breakfast. We will testing in the Science Lab and will begin early so be prompt!

DON'T FORGET!!! Friday we will dismiss at 11:30--lunch will NOT be served!
