Dear Upper Elementary Montessori Families,
Over the next few weeks, we will be working on mystery guest presentation.
Your child has been assigned or has chosen a mystery guest that they will be to present
on October 30. This mystery guest can be a fictional character from a book or a person
from real life. Having done their research, figured out a costume to wear, and props to
bring, your child will present themselves as this person/character by giving their friends
clues as to who they are. The class will then try to guess who they are. Please assist
your child to obtain books on their mystery guest, help with a simple costume and
props. We will also be looking for mystery guest books in our school library. **Students
must keep this a secret, as we will be guessing who they are!
Your child has chosen or has been assigned to come as ____________________
______________________________________. Please keep this a secret so that we can
have a good time trying to figure out who your child is.
Your child has been assigned the following date Friday, October 30th to appear
as this mystery guest. If you should have any questions, please ask me at anytime.
Thank you for your assistance in this fun filled activity.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Hancock
