Here we are, folks. It is a big week. The YE Market goes ahead on Wednesday afternoon and evening.
YEP - So much to remind you of here, I've gone point form and simplified:
- Float - $20 in coins to make change
- Cashbox - a small box, a pencil case, with your name and division clearly on it
- Tablecloth and tabletop display (see Monday's Daily Agenda for more about this)
- Packaging and other extras (price tags? info cards? intruction manuals?)
- Have a demo piece ready to show off
- Transportation for your products on Wednesday
- Water and Snack
- Cash boxes stay at school until Thursday (that's when we'll do our accounting); Mr. Pite will lock them up when not in use. Your profits and loan repayment and float repayment go home Thursday.
- Do not take orders for the future: once the market is over, your business is closed down
- Market is open 12:40 - 2:50, and from 5:00 - 7:00. Attendance for both of these sessions is super important!
- Stay for the duration (even if you sell out)
- You will get a chance to go shopping at the market. To avoid confusing your accounting, you must bring your own $$ (no dipping into your cashbox for shopping money).
We've put a tonne of work into this project, gang. Do your best to make sure all you need is here on Wednesday, that you have made enough product, and that you are well-rested and ready for a great day!
Math - We'll do some money math this week; of course we'll do it for real on Wednesday at the market and on Thursday when we do our accounting.
Language Arts - The focus this week is on YEP stuff, and practicing the oral language we'll use to talk to our customers. We will also begin to reflect on all that we've learned over the term.
Science - Your Solar System Object lap-books are looking great. We'll get these completed and have a chance to share our lapbooks on Friday.
Report Cards - These have been rebranded as "Learning Updates" and will be available on ParentConnect on Friday afternoon.
Enjoy the week, everyone!
