Families, staff, and 2nd grade students visit the 3rd grade Wax Museum. Each 3rd grade student learned about an important person from the history of the United States. The student researched his or her character and wrote an essay about that person's life and achievements. At the museum, the guests pressed an imaginary button on each desk. Then the historical characters came to life and talked about their lives. Each student learned a lot about his or her historical figure and also learned about their classmates characters.
