As a celebration of our Interpreting Characters unit, Team Rand House & Co., will be displaying a living character wax museum on October 31st from 2:30-2:50 pm.
During this time, our 4th graders will "be on display" as a character from a good fit book. Other classrooms have been invited to walk the upstairs hallway enjoying seeing students in costume as one of the characters from their book.
Our goal is to have every 4th grader name two character traits and describe situations from the story as evidence to support those ideas. They have also been taught to use quotes from the book so we can show, not just tell, about our characters.
Students have already began naming character traits and providing evidence. Offering guidance and feedback on this will be the topic of reading conferences this coming week. Students will be typing the information into their google accounts which they can access at home.
It would be great if you could talk to your child about their project, get a sense of the character they are growing ideas about, and help them put together a simple costume about their character to be ready for October 31st.
