Fourth Grade Opens a Living Wax Museum!
Hooray! This project is fully funded
My Students
My students walk into the classroom every day full of life and eager to learn. They are full of enthusiasm and love to experience new concepts using different modalities. Many of them are first generation English language learners, becoming both the learner and the teacher to their parents, when they show them what is going on in our classroom. We like to open our classroom and school to our parents as often as possible to share students’ learning in all academic areas, as well as create a strong home-school-community connection.
My Project
My students will choose a historic figure to read about, research and write an essay about, then make the person come to life with costumes, pictures and a speech. Students will read these books with intention as they find and discover their person's obstacles, accomplishments, a character trait that describes them, and ways they have influenced our life. We plan to present these figures as a Wax Museum -acting as statues - then coming to life to share our knowledge with fellow students and parents. This project will make my students so excited and engaged. Thank you for your help!
