Important Information!

Hi Everyone! 
I hope you had a great weekend! I am writing to let you know some important informtion! First, we are so lucky to have an intern joining us for the next month from Exeter High School. Her name is Lizzy Baldasaro and she is hoping to become a teacher and planning to head off to school in the fall to study elementary education. The students adore her and we are so excited to welcome her into our classroom for this next month of learning! A video permission form will be sent home in blue folders today. This is only for Lizzy's assignemnts to focus on her teaching. If you are comfortable with your child working with Miss Baldasaro and being filmed for one of her assignments, please send it back to school as soon as possible!
Second, we will be going outside for STEM buddies and PE on days that are weather permitting. Pleaese send your child to school with appropriate winter gear, especially if it gets snowy! Students should come to school with this gear daily so they are prepared for both classes!
Lastly, you should have seen a paper come home with your child's final wax musueum choice on it. This is who your child will be for the wax museum next month. We are going to study this person in school and plan for our big event but please be reviewing your child's choice at home as well. Some of these change makers are hard to get books on with our apps in class or in the library so we could use your help at home! Students should have a clear understanding of why this person was so important so that we can continue to work on our project in school. Students should also be thinking about what they will be wearing the day of the wax museum. We will need to know this so we can begin to create their mural. A planning sheet will be sent home with your child tomorrow so we can begin our work here on the murals. Please send the planning sheet back to school as soon as possible or by Friday, February 1st. Students will be told how to complete the sheet tomorrow at morning meeting, so keep an eye out for this sheet tomorrow evening!

Have a wonderful week!

Wax Museum Details!

Hello Families!
There is a very important paper coming home today about our upcoming wax museum! Please read it over and talk with your child about who they want to be for the wax museum. They will be researching this character and doing a lot of work about them in school, so please make sure it is someone they are truly interested in. We have explored some people in school this week to begin the brainstorming process! This person should be someone who has changed our world in some way. Please fill out your child's top three choices for the wax museum and send it in to school as soon as possible or by January 22nd. Have a great long weekend!
