Living Museum
Parents and Families,
We have been plugging away at our history planner. Each of your children has selected someone that they found interesting and have been doing research about them. We are following the IIM research tool. So far we have selected a topic, set goals, and collected and sorted notefacts. As our final presentation we will be doing a living museum. The goal is to have each child dress in the fashion of the person they have selected. They will also be writing a report and stating facts about the life of the person they have chosen (being done in class). We will have the living museum the Thursday before spring break, March 7th. Where I need your help is in the costume. Between now and the 7th please start gathering some pieces from around the house that your child could wear to look like their person. You can get as creative as you want. An example of an easy way to accessorize would be if your child is doing Benjamin Banneker (inventor of the first clock) you could send them with clocks or watches. You can of course also give them hair, clothing, and whatever other accessories to complete the look. On the 7th we will have the museum in our classroom. On that day send your child’s costume in their backpack and they can get ready shortly before presentation. You are invited to come and see your child’s presentation as well as the others on the 7th at 2:15. See you then!
