Important Reminder

V.I.P. Project Reminder

Our V.I.P. celebration will be next Friday, March 6, 2009.

Please drop in between 11:00-11:45 a.m.

Students are responsible for the following items as the “at home” portion of their V.I.P. project:

1.  QUESTION BOX: Create a “Question Box” for your VIP. This should simply be a covered shoe box or similar container with a hole in the top that is large enough for an adult to reach in and pull out a question. The box should be decorated in ways to represent the person you are portraying. (For example: decorate with pictures and/or words to represent your V.I.P.) 

**Bring your question box to school on Thursday, March 5^th.

2.  QUESTION CARDS: 12 question cards should be in your box. The questions should be very neatly written/typed using correct spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Each visitor that stops by your desk will choose three questions from your box to ask. (Examples: Where were you born? What is your most famous invention? Etc…) You should know your questions and answers very well.  Practice them at home.  **Bring your question cards to school on Thursday, March 5^th. 

3.  VIP OUTFIT: Come up with an outfit for you to wear to represent your VIP for our VIP Tea. (**It is NOT necessary to purchase costumes, etc.)  If you need an idea, ask a teacher. **Bring or wear your outfit on Friday, March 6^th. 

4.  OPTIONAL Souvenirs: This is an item for your visitors to take with them to remember you by. Be creative! Example: If you are Abraham Lincoln, you could give your visitors a penny as a souvenir. You may also choose to give your visitors a “business card.” (**This is NOT a requirement)  **If you choose to have souvenirs, bring them on Friday, March 6^th.  

Many many thanks!

Mrs. Geiger and I would like to thank you all so much for your generosity and thoughtfulness during Teacher Appreciation Week.  We enjoyed many yummy treats and enjoyed reading our sweet cards!  Thanks for everything!
