On Monday, your student brought home the assignment packet for the Wax Museum/Biography report! Although we are finding books in the school and classroom library, if your student has his/her heart set on a specific historical person, please feel free to go to the Snoqualmie Library (KCLS).
Each student will need an expository biography book at (or just below) his/her reading level by Friday, April 22 . Please see the wax museum assignment packet (attached) for specific guidelines. There is also a page on the 4th grade website with examples. This is a long term project with the checkpoints below.
