Andrew’s Wax Museum

Andrew’s Wax Museum. This happened way back on May 15th, but I have finally got the newspaper article scanned in and the new web gallery software working, so here you go:

Andrew’s 5th grade class (and the 6th grade class) participated in a huge project in which they wrote research papers, prepared a museum exhibit, and finally dressed and performed as a historical figure they admired. It was very impressive and it was easy to see that all the students had put tons of work into it. The kids would stand still as statues (WAX statues) until a patron walked up and touched them. At that point they would “come to life” and give a summary of their life and accomplishments, possibly with a little dramatic acting thrown in.

This was a large enough event that it was written up in the Oak Cliff Tribune. Click here or on the image at the left to see a color photo gallery of the 5th grade kids in character.
