Newsletter Week of February 12

Note from the Teacher: 
We have began discussing, The Famous Amercian Wax Museum project.  This project is an annual all time favorite of  the fifth grade.  First, the students will select a famous American 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. The students will work on this project both at home and school.  A project sheet will be sent home with each student.  Once your child's famous American 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.
    Don't forget to send in valentines for our exchange this week.  Please not peanut products! Your child has a class list tucked in their Friday folders.
