MARKETPLACE and Habitats!

We are studying economics this week and we have decided to join together as a 3rd grade team and have a little fun! Please see the message below from Ms. Morgan! We will make posters about our goods in class, the students have been brainstorming their ideas for goods to make and sell. This is a simple little project for the kids to do over the weekend if they want to participate. If they do not choose to be producers, then they can be consumers instead!

Parents please join us for this exciting event!

Date: Tuesday, April 1st!!!! 

Time: 12:30-2:00

Where: Outside at the Flagpole

What to bring: a pocket of change to buy the goods being sold

**Please also send in $2.00 in change with your child so they can shop as well at some point. 

All money made will go towards our Wonder Monument being built for the butterfly garden in the spring. 

Students' goods should be made at home. Between 5-15 will be great. Posters will be made in school.

Thanks so much as always. 

Third Grade Team

Habitat Projects:
 The kids did an amazing job! I am super impressed! Here are the posters and dioramas. We also had 2 news reports, a powerpoint presentation and scripted play in which the student talked with a squirrel all about its habitat! I love these super creative little  young people!

See you all on Saturday night!

Habitat Project: DUE DATE EXTENDED 
  It seems that there is a French project due next week, so I decided to extend the habitats project due date to MARCH 21st.  The kids just need to choose one of the Georgia Habitats and include information about it according to the checklist. If they make a diorama, then they will need to include some of the information in written form. For example: they can write about how the habitat can change due to an environmental factors or human interaction on a 3x5 card and paste it on the diorama.


Here it is again:
