‘Wax Museum’ brings history to life for students
Second-grade students at Bradford Elementary School welcomed family and community members to the Wax Museum last week. The students transformed the school gym into a wax museum.
Continued ...
The museum included everything from teachers dressed as curators to buttons that were attached to each “wax figure.” These buttons, when pushed, enabled each figure to come to life.
This event had students connect the language arts curriculum to the social studies curriculum. It also enabled the students to work on their self confidence and public speaking skills. As an assignment, the students were asked to research a famous person from history. Many students chose athletes such as Babe Ruth or Tony Hawk or inventors like Marie Curie and Louis Braille. Other students portrayed past presidents, royalty and explorers.
Second-grade teacher Nicole Gallant said, “I am so proud of our students. The research, time and effort each student put into their project is remarkable. This was truly a home-school connection activity. The families of our students put in many hours of practicing at home. We are thankful for their involvement.”
