Wax Museum

Attention! Attention!

Your child has started a new biography unit! Students will be reading multiple biographies and ultimately choose one person of interest who they will research in depth. They will write a poem, create a poster and then become their character in a "Wax Museum". We will be having two "Wax Museum" showings. One will be during school hours for students to visit and the second will be Monday June 15, 2009 at 5pm. A notice will be sent home. We hope family and friends can join us the evening of June 15.

Here are the choice the kids have made...

Kellie - Martha Graham

Drew - Lance Armstrong

Nate - George Washington

Maddie - Shirley Temple

Kevin - Michael Jordan

Hannah - Amelia Earhart

Joslyn - Keira Knightley

Josh - Jackie Robinson

Devin - Caesar Millan

Alec - John Adams

Tristian - Mary J. Blige

Cameron - Abraham Lincoln

Hailey - Pocahontas

Morgan - America Ferrera

Exotic Fruit

Last week our class read the story Cocoa Ice. This story is about two young girls. One of whom lives in Maine and the other in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic. Since we didn't know much about Santo Domingo we researched the area and learned a lot about the different fruit trees that grow there. We were lucky enough to be able to try some of those fruits. Enjoy some pictures highlighting our experience.
