Third Graders Bring to Life Iconic Trailblazers in "Wax Museum" Research Project
Bruce Springsteen, Jackie Robinson, Julia Child, Albert Einstein, Serena Williams, Neil Armstrong, and Helen Keller were among the famous people brought to life by Country School third graders for a “wax museum” research and writing project, part of a biography unit that culminated today.
Each student chose a famous figure, researched and then wrote a speech summarizing the figure’s life and accomplishments, and finally presented the speech before friends and family.
Kudos to the Grade 3 teaching team, which includes Julie Porter, Caroline Reilly, Valerie Schirmer, Ella Girling, Alexa Leon, and Avery York, who oversaw the grade-wide activity.
