Today Ms. Skinner's Creative Writing class went on a field trip to surrounding small town coffee shops in order to meet up with their owners and discuss various marketing strategies. Effective writing does not just take place in long essays about Frankenstein or through exciting short stories, but also through effective social media posts, posters, and so much more. We had the privilege of meeting with four owners who took the time to share what has and what hasn't worked for their specific business. Also, the coffee was delicious everywhere, just saying! Thank you Common Grounds (Dunlap), Daily Dose (Dow City), The Grounds (Harlan), and Aroma Bakery and Cafe (Woodbine) for sharing your knowledge with us today. (Also, as an added plus, we had an impromptu meeting with three absolutely lovely retired teachers while we were at The Grounds. They were such a blast, we had to take a photo with them as well! They had us laughing the entire time.)
Tessa Mittag from Sullivan Supplies spent time with our 4th graders discussing marketing products. Marketing is the process of promoting and selling products or services. It involves understanding customer needs and wants and communicating the value of products or services to potential customers. Marketing encompasses a range of activities, including market research, advertising, branding, sales, and public relations. At the next meeting, the 4th grade will create branding for a product. The students are super excited. Thank you Sullivan Supply for your partnership.
Mrs. Malone’s 5th grade and Mrs. H.'s 1st grade class celebrated Leap Year. They did exercises for 29 seconds and listed 29 different kinds of animals. They sang 5 Green and Speckled Frogs. The next Leap Year will be in 2028 when the current 1st graders will be in 5th grade.
