My Project

Each year, sixth graders become a live action Living History Museum. This cross-curricular activity, involves students choosing an influential person from history and researching all parts of their life. They will then create a tri-fold with this information and present this during school. They will dress as this person and speak as if they were the person.

My students love this activity, but some do not have the means to provide items to decorate their tri-folds.

By supporting my project, you are giving my students the ability to be successful without the financial stress to their families!
