Visit to the Wax Museum

Yesterday was the big day - The 3rd Grade Wax Museum!! This is kinda like the big culminating project for the 3rd Graders. Costumes galore - speeches ready - shadow boxes by their side - and roasting marshmallows taped to index cards with the words "push me" at each figures station. The kiddo's stood behind their desks (or sat) and when a visitor pushed their marshmallow they came to life and began talking and giving you their speech about their person. SuperStar did Sakakawea (Sacajawea). Initially I was going to post her giving her speech - however, add in parents of 24 kids and then add in a few classes of 4th and 5th graders and what happens is you really can't hear a darn thing!! So instead I took some pics of the kids. Only a few though - got most of my Girl Scouts and then a few boys that Andersen hangs with. It was very cute - and.........we made her costume with our very own hands (and Morgan's)!!!

I like how you pointed out that Helen Keller wasn't too great at faking blind. Hahaha
