Goodall Update 4-27-2017

April 27, 2017

One Last Field Study!

Goodalls will be taking a trip to Woolaroc Museum as the culmination of their OERB unit.  This will take place on April 28^th.  Buses will leave Mayo at 8:45 and return about 2:30.  Your student may wear jeans with their Goodall overnight shirt (maroon with the “Wander” quote).  If you cannot locate the overnight shirt, they should wear a red uniform shirt.  If you did not turn in a form or did not inform a teacher, your child needs to bring a sack lunch from home. If you are planning to check your child out to ride home with you, you must sign them out with a Goodall teacher.  We will all have a master list, so you may sign out with any one of us.

MicroSociety:

Our final project for the year will be Goodall MicroSociety.  MicroSociety is a way to bring real-world experiences into the classroom and further our study of goods/services, wants/needs, income/scarcity, etc.  The Goodalls have been  learning about Economics.  They have created their businesses and supply notes have been sent home.  This event will take place next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (May 2^nd , 3^rd  and 4^th ).  On May 2^nd and 3^rd, the students will sell their products to their classmates.  On Thursday, May 4^th, parents and guests are invited to “shop til you drop”!  We will even give you $10.00 to shop with!  Please have your child’s supplies at school by Monday, unless it is food, which may be brought daily.

Don’t forget tonight is Math Night!!-Please join us for an exciting community night at Mayo on Thursday, March 30th.  There will be lots of math activities to help with math concepts for your child.  We hope you will join us!

We are going to have to reschedule the Goodall program due to a scheduling conflict.  We are looking at dates now and we will let you know as soon as possible. We will continue to practice our songs and if your child has a speaking part, this will allow for a little extra practice.  As always, thank you for being flexible! Below is the link to the songs we will be learning.

Please remember to follow drop off procedures in the morning.  If you are dropping off your child, you must park your car in the lot and walk them in or let them out in the front of the building (this is the drop off zone).  We have seen several parents letting students out in the parking lot and in the bus zone.  This is very dangerous.  Following our procedures helps your child understand why they are important. Procedures keep us safe!! Thank you!
