Dear Parents,
What a great Spring Showcase we had! It was wonderful to see everyone and have the students celebrate some of the projects they worked so hard on and are proud of. Some of the parents asked for the website where I posted their child's green screen presentation. If your child chose to do this, here is the website: http://mslamaster.weebly.com/american-superheroes.html
We have started our entrepreneur project. They selected their groups and we are conferencing to make fine tune their business model and product. They will create their presentation and advertisement at school. We will start this process on Monday, so they need to bring in a prototype or sample of their product for their advertisement. Here are some examples from last year's class: http://mslamaster.weebly.com/entrepreneur-projects.html
They will need to make their products at home. One sample for Monday. Please bring the rest of their items to sell to school Wednesday morning. Students will sell their products/services and buy other entrepreneurs items at our Market Day using their Lamaster Bucks they have been earning all year. I know this is a lot of information, so please email me if you have any questions :)
Yearbooks- These will be delivered on Monday. Sales for yearbooks will be on sale Monday and Tuesday for any student that would still like to purchase one.
The last week of school schedule: Monday, & Tuesday students will also work on their Entrepreneur Projects/business models:
>Monday--Memory/Art Day & Class Party

The last week of school schedule: Monday, & Tuesday students will also work on their Entrepreneur Projects/business models:
>Monday--Memory/Art Day & Class Party
- Students will do some creative art projects and create class memory books in the morning, sign year books during our math block, and then celebrate the end of the year with the class party in the afternoon.
- If your child bought a yearbook, they can have friends sign their yearbook. I will have memory books for those who did not get a yearbook.
- Party in the afternoon
- Tuesday--Pajama & Reading Day
- Students may wear their PJs to school (please make sure they are weather appropriate as we will still go out for recess).
- They may bring in 1 stuffed animal (has to fit in their backpack) or pillow and 1 blanket or beach towel.
- Students will need to bring 1-2 chapter books to read during the day.
- Wednesday--Game, Puzzle, & Entrepreneur Market Day
- Students will start the day by setting up their Entrepreneur Market Day. Please make sure they bring in their goods/products to sell. They can also provide a service which means they need to bring in what is needed to provide that service, i.e. painting nails-bring in nail polish, paper towels, etc.
- The children are allowed to bring in their favorite board games, card games, or puzzles. Make sure that your child’s name is on every game that s/he brings in.
- Handheld electronic games can be brought in only if your child’s name is on it, and s/he keeps up with it the entire day. I am not responsible if it gets lost or breaks.
- Any items that are still at school that belong to your child will come home today. No backpacks on Thursday!
- Report cards, Progress Skills Checklists, BAS reading information, and STAR reports will come home today, too.
- Thursday--Movie Day & Last Day of School-Parents if you have any G rated movies, please send them in--Thanks :)
- We will watch movies, eat snacks, and end our year in relaxation!
- Please do not send your child to school today with anything that has to be brought back home, i.e. backpacks, lunch boxes, etc. Lunches and snacks can be put in perishable bags.
- Math: I won't see your child on Monday because of our class party, so it will be a short week. We will be working on a Warren Buffet project called, "The Millionaire's Club" Students learn business concepts while they are working on math activities. We will be reviewing all our math skills for the year.
- Enjoy your weekend!
