Next week I will begin discussing The Wax Museum project with the class. This project is an annual all time favorite of the fifth grade. First, the students will select a famous American or place to learn about and represent. The project consist of three main areas: research/note taking, a power point presentation, and a live display of a famous American or place. The students will work on this project both at home and school. A project sheet will be sent home with each student explaining the details. Once your child's famous American or place has been approved, please start discussing the project details with your child and begin brainstorming props and costume ideas. As always, feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Also, the fifth grade class will be participating in the Community Orientation Prevention Education program, C.O.P.E., presented by the Wayne County Sheriff’s Department. Sergeant Walton will join us for a two day teaching session. The class will be introduced to important topics that children are often confronted with as they get older. For instance, topics may include: the dangers and effects of harmful substance, peer pressure, bullying, etc. Over the years, the students have gained valuable knowledge, as well as positive attitudes concerning these important topics.
