Mexico Market Day May 4

This note will be coming home with your child later this week, but I thought I would give you a "heads up"!  This is a fun day for the kids, so start looking for those items to trade or barter!

Mexican Market Trade and Barter Day

Who: 6^th grade students

What: Bring in items to trade and barter with their classmates. * Items must fit into one grocery bag.  Students should also bring in a colorful beach towel which will help to organize the merchandise.

When: Friday, May 4 2012

Where: Media center

Why: Markets are essential in Mexico. This activity gives students the opportunity to experience a market setting where they can trade and barter.

* Items to consider for trade: CD’s DVD’s, computer games, old toys, jewelry, crafts, if it’s handmade it probably is OK to trade. All items to trade should pass parental inspection and approval. Items not permitted: food, old clothing, lotions, makeup, body spray, candles, or anything flammable. Use good judgement
