Eleri’s 5th grade is studying the American revolution. As part of the study of this unit, the students do a Wax Museum. They can pick any character from the Revolution War/time. When Emersyn did the Wax Museum, she chose Deborah Sampson. We told Eleri she could be any character as long as she wore the SAME costume. Getting items made at the fabric market is no longer cheap! Eleri decided Deborah Sampson was a good choice…hand-me-downs in school events!

Jim had to touch up the gun he made for Emersyn. It is made out of styrofoam so it is easy to dent! Jim spent many hours making the gun and it does look good. It is made from hardware items such as pipes, screws, coils that Jim could find at the “hardware” shops on the street.

You have to laugh at this goof-ball!

Eleri’s presentation and speech were completely different than Emersyn’s. Partly due to technology as the 5th graders have iPads for their studies. The students used the iPads for presentation and other notes. Eleri has her iPad under her hat to use for notes.

Eleri had fun making her props. For her button, she took parts out of her “snap circuit” kit so her button would light up. She did have the best high-tech button!

The presentation was held in the PC Commons. When Emersyn did her presentation, it was held in the classrooms. It was nice having all the kids in one room, but it was loud. Sometimes, it was hard to hear what they were saying.

The Wax Museum is a fun, learning event for the students. Eleri was all smiles as she was pleased with her efforts to put her Wax Museum character together.
