been learning about biographies and autobiographies
in Reading Class. To reinforce their reading skills, Mrs.
Gardiner and Mrs. Palmer engaged the students with
a special Wax Museum reading project. Each student chose a
famous historical figure to read about and research. The students
then created a flip book that contained facts, artwork and a
mini-report about the book they read. As a culminating activity,
students dressed up as their historical figure complete with

coordinating props and staged a real-life Wax Museum. The entire
school had the opportunity to visit the Living Wax Museum to
push those “buttons” and bring the historical figures to life. As

began to speak about their life and important facts, so each
student had the opportunity to learn from every wax museum
exhibit. Kudos to Mrs. Gardiner, Mrs. Palmer and all of the second
graders for their outstanding work and creativity!
