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.

EOY MAP Testing:

The window for End of Year MAP tests in Reading and Math is April 25-May 12^th.

We will send home reports and be in touch after the results are compiled.  Shoots will also take the SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory).
