Wax Museum Costumes
We are very excited about our living wax museum. Children have chosen and will be researching their person. They are becoming familiar with biographies in order to gather the needed information to write their wax museum speech.
FYI: On the evening of our wax museum, each child is asked to come dressed like their special person. We do not want this event to be costly. Be creative with things you already have at home or can borrow from a family member. Thank you for helping make this night memorable.
Language Arts
We have been working on a variety of nonfiction writing. We will focus on organizing our biography information and writing speeches that will be performed at our student led conferences. We will also begin work on our literary essay unit.
Math Workshop

2 Field Trips Coming Soon
On April 24th we will be visiting Indian Springs Metro Park to participate in a learning lab focused around force and motion. We will not be needing parent chaperones for this field trip.
On May 23rd we will be visiting the Longway Planetarium in Flint to learn about Amusement Park Science and Landforms. We will have limited space for chaperones on this field trip and will enter any parent interested in a lottery.
