Week of April 30th - May 4th

Dear Parents,

I hope you saw the paper about the wax museum.  The children are very excited!  They know their character and have at least one source of information.  Writing the short speech and assembling the costume should be done at home.  The children will present in class on Friday May 9th, and will present to a few lower elementary classes on the morning of May 15th.  Parents may visit the wax museum at 2:00 on May 15th. I will be talking to them about maintaining a stance, and the importance of remaining in character.
 
 I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
