Business CollaborationTeams are collaborating to write their pitch deck. We have a business expert visiting on Tuesday to critique our business plans. And then a "potential investor" will visit on Wednesday to hear our pitches. We have been writing and filming our commercials: we focused on hooks, opinion statements with supporting details, and a slogan. Our Art Workshop continues as well. Here's a sneak peak at our products to be sold on Market Day (March 11th and 12th).

Our Feelings ChartThis week we focused on feelings: different feeling words, and then how to express and identify our feelings and those of our peers. Below are the pictures we staged on Friday to make our own feelings chart.
The Project is really underway now...Our day is filled with project work: In math we are working as teams in t-shirt factories (a unit out of Context for Learning).
In Writing, we are working on our business plans.
In addition, we continue learning about business with Ms. McGhee. Our business lingo wall is filling up with words like "product" and "price" and "community" and "producers" and "consumers". We have been learning more about business through our read aloud, The Lemonade War. And we have begun researching how to start a business and other similar topics online - using Epic! Books. And we continue to play.A fox visited us yesterday.
It was Kindness Week!I really loved our Kind week together. We had fun smiling, dancing, and taking care of each other. We even had a visit from a local dentist, who taught us about the importance of taking care of ourselves and our teeth so we can be healthy and have a beautiful smile. That same morning we greeted our school community outside as school opened; we saw some of you in fact:) Introducing Mrs. McGheeLots of you have had a chance to meet Alexsis McGhee. She is our awesome student teacher, and has spent lots of time in our classroom supporting our learning. Lately she has begun teaching a few lessons, and will continue to teach throughout this project and into April. Here you'll see her teaching a business lesson from Junior Achievement. Ask your child how their Donut Factory did on Thursday. Our first guest...Ms. Tina from the high school spoke to us about her T-shirt business, and how to figure out the pricing of her shirts. We will use this guidance this week as we begin to figure out material costs and price our products. Thank you Tina! Our second guest on Friday... |
