Economics PBLYour student's Final Business Plan should have been completed and turned in today. From this point forward, your child should be working on products at home. Economics PBL Timeline Thursday I sent home an Economics PBL Timeline as a DRAFT. I asked students to take it home and consult with you about family events and activities that may limit their production time on certain days. I told them to write those down, as well as add goals for when they wanted a certain number of items complete. This kind of planning and prioritizing, as you know, is an important life skill. No parent or teacher wants to cram this kind of project into the weekend before. Please help your child work on this over the weekend. If your child was absent, or the paper was lost, here is a digital copy. We will finalize this at school and share it with you digitally next week. Parent Timeline This one is for you, with more details and logistics. WellnessI hope I didn't jinx anything by saying our class had fared better than others, but I feel like I did. The general guideline followed is to keep those with fevers home until they have been fever-free, without the aid of medicine, for 24 hours. As my daughter quizzed our pediatrician, "Isn't it Flu A that's going around?"...yes, flu is going around, but there are other viruses going around as well.
Even if your child has missed work, we will do our best to catch them up upon their return. Although some things I can share digitally, we really want your child's focus to be on resting and getting well. UPCOMING FOR 2/12-2/19 Math: We will continue learning our last multiplication facts, including our 9s, 6s, and last facts (3x7, 7x3, 3x3, & 7x7). After the end week, we will have covered all multiplication facts through 10 x 10, and I will expect them to commit all of those to memory. Science: We will continue with our space unit. We will start with the Sun and learn through models about the relationships between the Sun, Earth, and Moon. Reading: Research will be our focus through our PBL. Writing: Students will conduct research about the techniques used in advertising. Later, they will apply the techniques and write advertisements to persuade others to purchase their goods. Social Studies: We are learning about Economics and Entrepreneurs through our PBL. Comments are closed.
