WAX MUSEUM

Students in third grade on tracks B and C will be doing a biography wax museum on May 1^st. Students will be required to write a report on a famous person. They will dress up as that person and pretend to be them at the wax museum. More information will be coming about wax museum specifics as the event date gets closer.

            Students need to select a famous person by this Friday, April 10^th. We ask that they choose someone that is not in pop culture today, but someone who has made a difference in their field. A list of suggestions was sent home. The blue paper that was sent home is for students to write their first, second and third choice for whom they would like to write about. They will be assigned on a first come, first served basis. There will not be duplicates in each class.

Students will be writing their biographies at school, but some help may be needed at home to find a book or an article about the person they choose. Our school library has many biographies that students can check out and use. Students need to have a book or article in class by Monday, April 13^th, whether it is checked out from school or a book from home.

Manner's Day

On Friday, February 13th the third grade will be having their annual Valentine’s Manners’ Day.  This is a day where students can dress up in skirts, dresses, dress pants etc. and learn about what good manners entail.  We will be eating lunch in our classrooms and learning some fun line dances.  Students are also invited to bring valentines to pass out to their classmates. If your student chooses to bring valentines to school, please ensure that he/she brings one for each student in his/her class.  There are 24 students in each class.  We will be making containers in class to hold valentines that are passed out.  This is not an activity where students should feel that they need to buy anything.  Valentine cards are optional and students are not required to dress up.  Please contact us with any questions!
