Greetings,
Monday, June 9 we will be holding our annual "Trade and Barter Day". It is really akin to a Sixth Grade Flea Market, but it gives the kids a chance to trade and barter for objects of desire. Everyone is expected to participate, so have your child start looking around for "stuff" they no longer want; one man's trash is another man's treasure"
Latin

Determined (if it's nice, we may be outside!)
Why: Markets
are essential in Latin American countries. 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

makeup, body spray, candles, or anything flammable. Use good
judgement.
