The 4th graders will be participating in a wax museum on Tuesday, March 28 from 1:55-2:55. This will be the culminating activity for our informative writing unit. Students will create a poster and a short presentation based of their person, place, animal, or event that they chose to research. This will be completed at school but could be practiced at home. Also, it is not required but students may choose to "dress the part" for their presentation. We have a few more weeks before we are going to start the preparation but wanted to make you aware.
Families are invited to come see our wax museum. It will be an open house style, so feel free to come and go as you please. If you want to take your child home with you, instead of waiting for dismissal, that is fine, please let us know and they will need to be signed out in the office.
