Wax Museum

The fifth grade took on a big project this year. They call it the wax museum. Each student picked some one from US history, wrote a report, made a poster, and then today had to dress as them. They have to stand there all day as students and parents come around and when you push their button, give a short speach about their person. Luke's class did the Revolutionary War. He is Benedict Arnold. I didn't get his whole speach, and you can't hear it very well. But here it is. . .

Please tell Luke that was excellent! He must take after you, Kristie. Maybe in a few years he'll be wearing a chicken bone around his neck! :)
What a fun way to learn history...

I agree w/ Shannon, that is a terrific way to learn history. It would sure make it more exciting for the kids. Great job Luke!
