The students had a blast bidding on cattle for Adam and Kim Lowery. 4th graders were spoiled by Adam and Kim (once again) with Jimmy John sandwiches, sugar cookies, and a bag full of goodies! Tomorrow, the class will use their math skills with the sale papers that were provided after the sale. The class brought their own money to buy a snack at McDonalds. After their snack. They played at Wright Park.

The last two weeks Montezuma's 4th graders learned an old skill of writing a friendly letter. They learned how a friendly letter is formatted and how to address an envelope. They picked two people to write a letter to. The second person they wrote was a letter they mailed. Kelli Kinnamon helped the students use the stamp machine at the school to get it ready to mail. On Wednesday, April 16th the 4th graders walked to the local post office to mail the letter and was able to tour the post office. Gail and Alisha showed them around the post office and gave some great information. They even let the students put a flier in all the mailboxes! This was a great learning opportunity that allowed the students to see how the post office works and also to see what the postal worker does. The students were told, "you never know... you might want to be a postal worker someday." 😁
