Newsletter, February 15th

A Peek At What We are Doing in Fifth Grade

Thursday night, February 21st from 6:00 to 7:00, is the 5th Grade Wax Museum night. We hope you will be able to make it. Here are a few reminders just to make the night go smoothly.

- Students should arrive at Zach, with their costumes on, at 5:45. We’ll need a few minutes to get everyone in place and set up to go.

- Parents, please plan to arrive at 6:00 as that's when we will be opening the doors to the public.

- In years past, we have encouraged parents to bring in coins to activate the wax figures. This year students will have red buttons on their wrists that you will gently tap to activate the figures. No need to bring any coins, thank you.

- As you know, the students each wrote an informational book on their wax museum figure before writing their speeches. Those papers will be out in the cafeteria for you to read. Post-it notes and pens will be there on the tables for you to leave “way to go” notes on their papers.

- We will hold a dress rehearsal on Thursday afternoon. Students will need to bring their costumes with them to school that day, but we will be sending them home with them so they can come to school that evening in their costume.

- We'd like your help with one other thing on Wax Museum night. As we will have lots of kids presenting and lots of parents observing, it is important that we keep side conversations to a minimum. It has the potential to get very loud. Please feel free to chat in the cafeteria away from the presenters. The kids have worked so hard we want to honor their work by being great audiences.
