Please see the below reminder. Due to the snow days, we will be working on our economics unit beginning next week. If possible, we could still use empty containers for our grocery store. Thank you to all of the families who have already sent in supplies.

Dear Parents,
Our next social studies unit will set
the foundation for helping children learn about making economic
decisions. Students will learn the meaning of producer, consumer, goods
and services. They will have the opportunity to determine what their
wants and needs are and will understand the need for money and how
people can earn money. We are going to to turn our classroom into our
very own community - Kindertown! We want to set up a restaurant in our
classroom where we are reading menus, ordering food (writing orders),
and paying our bills (using money). When you are out to eat, if you
could please pick up a carry out menu for our "restaurant" that would be
great! To further enhance our understanding of consumer/producer and
goods/services, we are going to set up a grocery store as well! We need
your help - please send in empty boxes of all different kinds of
food items for our grocery store. We will be writing grocery lists and
using money to pay for our groceries. Please start sending these
things to school on January 6th (our first day back from vacation). We
will also have a pet shop, car wash, bakery, nail salon and more in our
community! We would like to have everything up and running by Monday,
January 13, 2014.
Thank you so much for all your help and support!
