Ms. Telfer and Ms. Dean Newsletter!

Hello all!
First, I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying being your
children’s classroom. They have welcomed me with open arms and I can’t believe
we are already getting ready to go into week 6! Going forward, I will be sending
out a weekly newsletter highlighting what’s going on as well as important and fun
things that are happening inside our classroom.
Let’s get started!
In social studies, we are working on economics. Your child will be learning
all about scarcity, bartering, selling, buying, producing, consuming, goods,
services, capital, and human resources in this unit. Ms. Dean and I have some fun
things planned for this. Your child will be given a bag of play money. Then your
child will have the opportunity to purchase resources from the “class store” and
produce goods or services for their peers to purchase and barter. They will have to
use their money and create a budget and set prices based on their service or
produced goods. So be on the lookout for what your child decides to produce at
home and we cannot wait for you to hear all the fun stories that we have and will
experience in this unit.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to
Ms. Dean, or myself. My email is Moriah.telfer@cpschools.com. Have a great rest
of your week and a great weekend and I will send out another letter next week!
Best,
Ms. Telfer and Ms. Dean
