Dear Families,
Students are working hard on their very own products and stores. They are learning about economics by creating their own products, purchasing supplies to make their products, and selling these products next week.
Are you or someone in your family willing to come in and tell a little bit about economics in your job? I am looking for a few special guests to come in to explain how supply/demand, goods/service, incentives, circular flow, etc. work in their jobs. Don't be intimidated to talk to our class! We are curious learners and will ask questions to guide your "talk". So far my only willing volunteer is Mr. Mutschler who is a salesman. We welcome ANYONE in the workforce who can teach us about economics and their real world job. Email me if you are interested!

Students will not need to read this book at home, but please check with them about how book clubs are going at school! This is a favorite unit for most students!
Questions to ask your child:
1. What are you making as a product for your store?
2. What qualities do you need to be an entrepreneur?
3. How did you do on your 5 minute multiplication and division timed test? Did you pass either x or /?
4. How are your doing with your realistic fiction story?
5. What are some ways to develop your characters even more in your piece? Dialogue, Actions, Thoughts, Description
What we learned this week:
Writing-
I can develop my character in my realistic fiction piece.
I can type using homerow keys. (We are starting to work with computers more. Please encourage typing practice at home.)

Math-

I can classify angles.
Reading-

Have a great weekend!
