Explorer Museum Preparation

We have been working hard on memorizing our explorer speeches in class.  Students have practiced with partners and many have used recording apps on their devices.  Please check your child's backpack for a note home about memorizing speeches.

As your child is putting together his/her explorer outfit for next week, here is a list of everyday clothing items that can be used.  Your child should bring in his/her outfit on the day they present to the class (Wednesday, November 16th or Thursday, November 17th).  Makeup doesn't need to brought in until Friday.

 Common Household Items

  • Boots
  • Scarves / Handkerchiefs
  • White dress shirts of any type
  • Tall Socks
  • Loafers
  • Bath robes or long cardigans
  • Floppy hats
  • Tunics or other long shirts
  • Belts
  • Eyebrow pencil for facial hair
  • Any leftover Halloween costumes or makeup
