Dear Parents and Students,
Happy Spring! March 20th marks the official first day of spring. However, I feel the students had an extra spring of energy in them this week with the sunshine and warmer weather. I hope it will continue on our off-track break.
Students were excited for their upcoming off-track adventures, including vacations, sleeping in, visiting the new Herriman Recreation Center, and of coarse their "Wax Museum Reports." I reminded students to use their time off to have fun and get a head start on their report:D. I hope you will continue to encourage your students to read each day they are off track to keep things fresh.
On Friday, students participated in the school's "Monster Math" contest. I was proud each student's determination to perform their best. Student's demonstrated great team work and problem solving skills. Way to go Bobcats!
For those of you who may be seeking a head start on the Wax Museum's Report, the requirements are listed below.
Wax Museum Biography Report
DUE THURSDAY, MAY 26TH
Dear Parents and Students,
Throughout this year, 4th graders have been and are studying Utah history. There have been many people throughout Utah history that have made important changes, discoveries, inventions, and ideas in history. All 4th graders will be involved in researching, reading, and writing a biography about a person significant to Utah’s history. Students will participate in a wax museum for parents and the school student body to share their learning about the person they studied.
The requirements for this project include:
1. Read and research information about your person. Information can be found in nonfiction informational books found at the school or local library, biographies, encyclopedias, and on the Internet. Please make sure to work with a parent when looking information up on the Internet. Some helpful websites include:

http://www.emints.org/ethemes/resources/S0000133,shtml
http://thingstodo.com/states/UT/famous_people.htm
http://www.50states.com/bio/utah.htm
2. Write a biography report. Reports should be at least 200 words, typed or written in your very best cursive writing. They should be in YOUR OWN WORDS! Reports should be written with proper punctuation and spelling. Follow the “Biography Assignment outline”
3. Prepare an oral report to present during the wax museum. Oral reports should not exceed 3 minutes. Pick out some favorite information from your written biography report to share with the others during the wax museum. Practice the oral report several times before you give it aloud. Remember to use eye contact, and good vocal expression. Make your report interesting and fun! You will receive a grade on your oral presentation and another grade for your written report.
4. Wax Museum. On the day of your class’ wax museum presentations, please dress up like the person you studied. If it adds to your presentation, you may bring visual aides that can fit on a students’ desk.
I hope you will enjoy your time with our students on everyday adventures. See you soon!
