Museum Presentations and Projects

After much preparation, we presented our Wax Museum project today about people who have contributed to our community.  There were many areas of concern for me, from costumes, to speech memorization, to transportation, but as far as I could tell, everything went really smoothly.  Again, many thank yous to the staff of the Churchill County Museum for their help with our research and for their willingness to host our event.  Also, thanks to the 13 parent drivers who were on time and made that process so smooth.  I was really proud of this group of students.  To quote on of the museum staff members, "This is the cutest thing I've ever seen!"  I totally agree with her!

Our next project is an Earth Science project, and we will begin with some serious vocabulary next week and then start our study of things that shape the surface of the Earth.

Not to bombard you with projects, but we finished reading Tuck Everlasting and your child was assigned last week to find 10 items that represent a character.  These items should fit in a paper lunch bag.  Students need to have the items in class on Thursday when we present our items and explain why each item was chosen.  Thanks for helping your student be successful at these projects!
