First, I would like to wish all the families a very Happy and Safe Holiday and a Joyous New Year in 2020!!! Enjoy the special times with your families!!!

Here is a quick note for the Social Studies Project that we will be doing in January. I am only sending this to you now, just in case you have some extra time during our break from school and you want something to do. Please Please do no not feel like you have to do this now. There is plenty of time in January. I will send a paper copy of directions when we return in January.

The Trade 10 Project

One of our goals in Kindergarten Social Studies is to understand the concept of trade and how it can get you some of the things you either need or want.  The kids will be participating in a trading activity and will need your help from home!

We are asking each family to help your child make 10 items of their choice for our trading game.  Items do not have to be complicated, but should be fun and something your child thinks the other kids will want to have.  Items cannot be edible.  You can buy things you may need to complete the projects, but we don’t want anyone to just buy 10 of the same item and bring them to trade.  All 10 items that are made should be similar (not identical but if your child chooses bracelets, then all 10 need to be bracelets not 3 bracelets and 7 necklaces). 

We know there’s lots of creativity in our families this year, so this should be a fun family project!  Let’s go Pinterest People! 

In case you’re having trouble coming up with something, here are some ideas:

·         Bookmarks

·         Loop bracelets

·         Homemade playdoh or slime

·         Necklaces

·         Decorated clipboards

·         Signs for doors or door knobs

·         Pins

·         Duct tape projects (like wallets, decorated pens or pencils, etc.)

·         Picture frames made from foam or craft sticks

·         Magnets

·         Paint crafts from Dollar Tree (like the piggy banks or wooden snakes)

 If you need items like construction paper or glue, let us know and we can send home the colors you need.

All items for trade need to be brought to school on Monday, January 13th.  Please put items in a labeled gallon size Ziploc. Remember ONLY 10 items!

Thanks!
