You are invited! As reported in our last two newsletters/blog posts, Thursday November 1st following mass at 10:10 a.m, will be our annual 5th grade Saints Wax Museum.
Students have been researching information regarding his/her chosen saint throughout this past week. To conclude the research and as a part of the the Museum, students will be asked to write a brief report (paragraph or slightly more) on his/her saint and do their best to memorize as much of their report as possible.
Students will also be asked to put together a "costume" as well as find props that represent his/her saint. Please don't feel as though you need to purchase any items. Look for items around home that could be used. For example, St. Christopher is pictured wearing what looks like a robe/sheet wrapped around him. For this costume a bed sheet could be used to just drape around a student's existing clothing. St. Christopher is the patron saint of automobile drivers. Small matchbox cars could be used as props on the student's desk to represent this particular saint. If you are unable to find props to represent a saint, a poster could be made illustrating props.
We ask that you encourage your child to practice memorizing his/her report at home over the weekend. We also ask that you monitor your child's use of the internet when researching information regarding his/her saint this week to ensure that the information he/she is finding is from a catholic resource. Additionally, we ask that you assist your child in ensuring costume/prop choices are brought to school next Thursday.
Two online resources include, www.catholic.org/
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you all next week!
Thank you.
Mrs. Schaffer, Mrs. Alsin, and Mrs. Anderson
