Wax Museum Final Update 2/28

Dear Students:

Please find this last packet of information to assist you as you approach the final days of our Wax Museum project.  On Tuesday, March 4, there will be in class practice sessions for you and your classmates.  You should bring your cards to school.  You are also welcome to bring in costumes although the rehearsal on Tuesday is “costume optional”.  On Wednesday, March 5th, the Wax Museum will start promptly in our classroom at 11 am (or as soon as we have all returned from PE and had a chance to change).  Parents are welcome to join us on that day from 11 to noon. 

At this point, final cards should have been checked (or will be checked NO LATER than Monday) and you should have direction on any additions or corrections that need to be made.  These cards will be reviewed for legibility, content, and more.  Please refer to the enclosed rubric so that you can be sure that your materials and your presentation meet expectations.

The information attached includes a list of questions that may be asked of you on the day of your presentations.  You should know the answers to these questions without having to refer to your cards.  Memorization of cards is not necessary but I do encourage you to practice again and again so that you are not overly dependent on your notecards.  Presentations should take approximately two minutes.   

Thank you for your hard work.  Each year, the Wax Museum is one of the most exciting and memorable days in third grade.  I have no doubt that this year’s event will be no different.  I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing your final presentations on Wednesday.

Fondly,

Ms. Coffman
