Parents/Guardians,
The fourth grade will be creating mobile state floats for a “Parade of States” that will take
place on Fri., May 31st from 12:451:45 (approximately) . Parents may attend and also assist
with taking home state floats on this day. I will have students randomly choose a state to
represent in the parade. They will have some class time to research information and print
images at school to use in creating a state float, but there will be work and assembly required
outside of class. The research packet is a resource students can use to jot down required
information but will not be collected for a grade. The rubric provided is what will be used to
grade the floats. The floats themselves must contain all required information. A state float
consists of information presented on boxes, poster boards, or other objects related to the
chosen state that students will pull along on a wagon (or other moveable device such as a
skateboard). All fourth grade classes will line up and parade the floats around the back of the
school on parade day. Drop off of floats should occur preferably on Tues., May 28th (no later
than May 29th) for sharing and grading purposes. Floats may be dropped off before school
(7:307:50) or after school (2:303:30). Some students are choosing to partner up with a
classmate or child from another classroom, however the children will need to be able to get
together outside of school. There is a form that needs to be completed and sent in to
homeroom teachers from both partner’s parents that this is going to be possible . Students
should keep their research packets in their red “take home” folders so they have them available
at home and school to work on when needed. If you have any questions regarding this project
please contact me at clange@d92.org .
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lange
