My Project

Every year our school puts on a wax museum in grades 4-5, where students get to dress up like the famous person who they have been researching for months. The materials will be used to help students do research about George Washington and Walt Disney and help them dress up like their characters.

The two famous people being researched by my special education students are George Washington and Walt Disney.

With these materials, it will allow my students to have access to the same things as many other students who may be more privileged. I want my students to feel as much apart of this Wax Museum as possible and all of these materials will be used to help them. Our Wax Museum is on June 7th and I really hope to get this funded soon, so my students have ample time to prepare. Parents and staff will all visit the Wax Museum on this day.
