Wax Museum


For the next several weeks, we will be working on Biography Reports. Your child has chosen a hero that they are interested in researching. After researching and writing our reports, students will “become” their hero for a Wax Museum presentation in March (Mark your calendar for Monday, March 9th at 8:30!). Thanks in advance for all your help and support with this fun project!
Wax Museum Hero Project Guidelines
I will...
o  Write a three paragraph biography report with
o  A catchy introductory paragraph
o  A strong body paragraph – focusing on WHY my person is an interesting hero
o  A conclusion paragraph
o  A bibliography that cites my sources
o  A costume that helps represent my hero
(We want you to get creative! No need to spend money!)
o  Make a button that will activate my presentation! (This will be done in class).

Grateful Heart


Dear Parents,

I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for your generosity at Christmas!  I love the gift cards to my favorite places, as well as all the other wonderful gifts you all gave me. Wow! I am one lucky teacher!  You are all so generous and made me feel very special. I sure am grateful to have a job where I love coming to work every day. Having supportive parents is an awesome bonus. You are all so kind and deeply touched my heart. Thanks again!

Love,
Mrs. Peterson :)
