…our learning adventure

Explorers Wax Museum ONLINE!

January11

The fourth graders completed a four week long project on explorers. The culminating activity was a wax museum. Students stood in front of their presentation boards, struck their poses, and simulated wax museum statues until someone stepped on their  push button. This resulted in bringing to life the explorers, who were in full costume. Each gave a speech about their adventures and accomplishments. Some of the students even mastered Spanish and English accents.Their performances were OUTSTANDING! If you missed it, you’re in luck! Below are the videos of the explorer speeches as well as the photo of their presentation boards. ENJOY!

    What an amazing project, Donna. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the museum come to life under the Pavilion. It was evident that the students had spent a lot of time researching and creating their presentations. I love that so many of the multiple intelligences were used during the creation of their explorer projects. Well done Fourth Grade! I loved every minute of it!
