The T-Shirt Factory

Students have been participating in a math unit titled "The T-Shirt Factory". The unit began with the story Grandma Eudora's T-Shirt Factory.  The story is in the "Dropbox" folder on your child's iPad. Feel free to read it again with your child. Students were divided into "companies". They collaborated together to create a company name, logo, phone number and website address. Each company created a flyer and all "Vice Presidents" created their own business cards. They used their poetry skills we studied in Language Arts to write a jingle for their company using Haiku Deck and iMovie. We are covering many of our math skills in context through this unit - addition, subtraction and place value to the thousands place. This week the companies will be shipping t-shirts (subtraction), replenishing their inventory (addition), and keeping track of the total number of t-shirts in their warehouse. Have a look at the flyers for our companies.
