WAX MUSEUM

WAX MUSEUMOur fourth grade students are presenting “A Night at the Museum” in which they will present the knowledge gained from reading a biographical book about a famous person. Students will choose a famous person that they would like to learn about and read a book about this person. After reading the book students then present the information learned in the form of an “oral book report”. Students “become” this person in the form of a “statue” dressed in a costume as their famous person. Visitors to the “museum” will press student-made “buttons” and the “statues” will come alive and tell their story.
