Third graders present Wax Museum

Posted

The Colman-Egan 3rd graders performed their Living History Wax Museum yesterday, April 12, 2017. What is a “Living Wax Museum”? A living wax museum is a fun, creative way to get students doing history instead of just reading about it. The idea for a living wax museum comes from wax museums around the world, which feature lifelike representations of famous people. Instead of wax, though, this museum is a collection of historical figures represented by students in 3rd grade who do research and dress up like the person they chose.

Lou Gehring, Helen Keller, Buffalo Bill, Walt Disney, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Pocahontas, Thomas Edison, George Washington, Betsy Ross, Babe Ruth, Mary Lou Retton, and Amelia Earhart
