With the school year winding down, fourth grade students at Lincolnview Elementary took advantage of an opportunity to learn more about historical people in history while sharing that knowledge with other students at the school, along with parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth grade classes of Marla Kemler, Christie Wendel and Matt Alessandrini hosted the fifth annual \u201cwax museum\u201d in the Lincolnview Elementary gymnasium on Tuesday. Students were dressed up as their chosen historical figure and shared handmade frames with important information. In addition, they verbally shared what they learned and knew about their chosen character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Kemler, Tuesday\u2019s showcase had been in the works for several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cStudents had to fill in a survey of their top three choices of whom they wanted to do for the wax museum,\u201d Kemler explained. \u201cRight before Easter they received their books and some of them started on their books right away, which was really great. They had to read their book and from there they had a packet to fill in that had facts about their (the character\u2019s) childhood, adulthood and accomplishments, then after that we began to write a five paragraph essay and they did wonderfully on that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach teacher then helped them create their frames and had to find pictures that went along with their person, then this past couple of weeks they had to memorize at least a one minute speech for today\u2019s wax museum.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Students in grades 1-3 and 5-6 took turns seeing and learning more about the historical characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s fun for the students coming up because they get to see what they get to do,\u201d Kemler said. \u201cThe third graders are really excited and can\u2019t wait to do this next year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figures depicted in the wax museum spanned a time period from the American Revolution and colonial times including Paul Revere and George Washington, to the 1980s and well beyond, including entertainers such as Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton and Lucille Ball, and sports stars such as Babe Ruth and Michael Jordan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have a new project this year, Joan of Ark, which was fun for me because I did not really know much about her, so that was a really interesting project,\u201d Kemler said. \u201cThe students have done a wonderful job and they take so much pride in it. We\u2019re really proud of them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kemler added the project fits in with the district’s academic standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
