Upcoming Events
Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon- April 20
Field Day- April 26
Market Day Project Proposal Due- April 28
End of Year FAST Testing- May 2 & 3
Market Day
Third grade has started the next unit on Economics in Social Studies. All students will be participating in an economics project in order to gain a “real world” perspective of how economics truly works. They will have a “real life” opportunity to experience being a consumer and a producer. Each student will design and create a product to sell in our third grade market. These products can be anything from paper airplanes, rubber band bracelets, baked items without nuts, bookmarks, or magnets. Any and all ideas that students are able to create are welcome! Each class will be planning an appropriate price range and creating a price list in class. The students may make changes during the market based on supply and demand. The students will be using fake money to buy all the products.
The project proposal plan is due by Friday, April 28th. All products are due to school by Tuesday, May 23rd for our classroom market.
Reading Requirement
Our reading requirement of 4 books and AR test passed at 70% or higher has renewed for the 4th Quarter. This requirement is a great way to prepare students for their upcoming end of year assessments.
