Mrs. Corbo from Brooklyn, NY is requesting books through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Citizen Wax Museum Comes to Life!

Help me give my students a variety of books to do research on various leaders.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Corbo's classroom raised $1,002

This project is fully funded

My Project

The second grade will be putting together a live wax museum to reflect citizens in history and our community that they think are good examples of kind leaders. Students learned what a good citizen is and are now excited to bring their learning to life!

They will use the books and media we have asked for to help them research the citizens they picked to then become them and share their findings.

We are looking forward to having all of these resources to help them learn about their person and create a museum for other students to learn from. They have to share what they learned about the citizens and what made them a good leader and positive examples to others. We thank our donors in advance for giving our students the opportunity to bring to a new level!
