MGMS fifth graders bring history to life with a wax museum

Fifth graders at Mountain Green Middle School recently learned about prominent people by studying their lives through reading their biographies. Students brought those individuals to life through a living “wax museum.”

Students donned attire to resemble the historical figure they read about.  In addition, they presented facts in a memorized speech presented to other students in the school who were invited to attend the wax museum with parents attending that evening. 

Pennies were dropped in a cup next to the student to activate their speech with those proceeds going to buy biographies for the library.
