Wax Museum

I just got back from the Elementary School. I have been spending a lot of time there this week! Today the 5th grade did a Wax Museum. Each student picks a person that changed America. They write a report, then dress up and bring a prop to school.

It is pretty fun to go and see what everyone comes up with. The students have to sit perfectly still for fifteen minutes while parents and students in other grades walk around looking at all the displays. They all get a five minute break every 15 minutes.

Spencer decided to do his report on Abraham Lincoln. We couldn't find a top hat anywhere, so I made one out of sturdy paper. I also had to make his bowtie and beard (he didn't want to wear face paint.) He wore Brandon's suit which was much too big for him. I assured him that was fine because Abraham Lincoln's suits were usually loose fitting because he was so thin!

Here is Spencer as Abraham Lincoln:
