Wax Museum Materials

Help me give my students poster-making materials for our end-of-the-year wax museum project.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hansberry's classroom raised $161

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is for my students to have supplies for their Wax Museum Project. For the last few weeks, and the upcoming 5 weeks, students will be researching a figure in history (past or present) who has made a positive impact on society.

A Wax Museum project is a huge undertaking for students that involves skills from multiple subject areas.

Students are learning research skills, designing a poster, writing a speech, and creating a Google Slides presentation, and will then dress up as their person on our project day. They will "perform" their speech as if they were the person they learned about.

These stickers and letters will help students beautify their posterboards.
