My Project

Our 5th graders are excited to learn about famous people from all over the world. As a grade level team, we are excited to plan a "Wax Museum" for the students to showcase an understanding about a character of their choosing. These "Who Was/Is" biographies will be critical as a source of factual information about their chosen character.

We have deliberately chosen characters from various backgrounds including science, sports, politics, military, the arts, and others, to match the diversity of our 5th grade student body.

Without a doubt, our students will be more than excited to showcase what they have curated to represent their character.
