IMPORTANT REMINDERS FROM HOMEROOM
- Thank you to the parents who were able to join us for our field trip on Friday. All of the first graders had a wonderful time and this would not have been possible without you!
- The Lost and Found is over-flowing. Please remind your first grader to check for missing items.
- Please remember to check the 2015 - 2016 FA school calendar when planning vacations for next year.
- Please help your first grader to remember to turn in their Falcon Mall "job application" if they have not yet done so. Our Falcon Mall is scheduled for IOWA week, May 18-22. As a reminder, this activity culminates our History unit on Economics where the boys and girls will be studying concepts like goods/services, wants/needs, and division of labor. After studying this material, the classroom will become a "Mall" where the students will apply the economic skills they have learned. They will work in one of four departments (Men's, Women's Accessories, or Toys) to produce different items, earn "Bardes Bucks" for their hard work, and then use their money at the end of the week to purchase the items created.
