Hello Everyone… Thank you to you all for taking the time to complete the TRADE 10 project. This will be a graded assignment for Social Studies. I will be sending home the rubric after we complete the project in class. I am excited to see everyone’s product. It will be fun to watch them sell their item off to their friends. Remember each child should come home with 10 new items. If your child has not completed the project ( there is still time!!!!), then they will not be able to trade with the other children. Hopefully we will start trading the objects on Wednesday.

I want to share with you all on how happy, excited, and pleased I am with the growth and success that we have all achieved on the DRA Word Analysis tasks scores. WOW is all I can say and I am so proud and thankful for all that you have done at home and all the hard work from all my little friends!!!

Hello All,I have attached the student order form to this email, please post it and the following paragraph to your blogs and we will do the same with the building blog. 
Lindbergh is proud to have earned both Blue Ribbon and Lighthouse status this year! None of this would have been possible without each and every member of the Lindbergh community flying the spirit of success together. For this reason we thought it would be nice to have new shirts made to show our Lindbergh pride! Please complete the order form if you are interested in any of the items and return it to your child’s classroom teacher with the correct amount in cash by Tuesday, January 14, 2020. All shirts will be in the color royal blue to symbolize our prestigious Blue Ribbons status!

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.

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!

                             Mrs. Muston                                                      Ms. Schropp
