Business Fair Newsletter
Note to parents
We are very excited to be starting up our 5th Grade Business Fair. This is an activity that takes a lot of planning, time, and effort and we are in need of some help from you all as well.
Business Fair is up and in action!! Each group has a product and they have completed their plan with a supply list. At this time we are working on getting supplies so that we can begin production on May 16th. Below you will find each teacher's name. Your kids have been in a room with a fifth grade teacher planning for what product they are producing. The teacher they are with during this time may not be their homeroom teacher, but your child knows what room they are in. This is important because you are going to find their supply list under that teacher's name. Each group has completed a list of supplies they need to be donated in order for them to make their product. We are asking that you take a look at the list and see what items you would like to donate for your child's group and sign up on the Google Doc that they have created. They may have found a suggested place to purchase the materials, that is part of the financial literacy curriculum. Now, as parents we know sometimes we find better deals elsewhere and you are welcome to shop where you like. I know when my child did this I took full advantage of using the Hobby Lobby 40% off coupon daily, and yes, each child put that app on their phone so we got 3 items for 40% off daily. That math is a bit above 5th grade, but please use the opportunity to take your child and show them the difference. This is the whole idea and since we cannot shop with them, it's a perfect time for you to show them, plus it's a lot of fun for them to go and pick things out.
As we move forward we will also be sending out a Sign Up Genius for some parent volunteers to help the on the actual day of the Business Fair. That will be posted the week of May 13th.
Thank you in advance for your help and support for this event, the kids love it and it is not possible without your help!!
