The third graders at Westside Elementary have the wonderful opportunity to participate in a wax museum. They study someone notable from history and then get to dress up like them and portray them in a wax museum. We were blessed to have the wax museum just after Julia came home. Joshua was so excited that Julia, Grandpa, and Grandma could go with us to see him. The kids had to stand still and frozen like a wax figure until someone pushed the button to turn them on. They would share what they had learned about the person they were being and then freeze again. It was a little hard to hear Tisquantum share his speech, but it was fun to support him. Tisquantum is another name for Squanto. He helped the pilgrims through their long hard first winter. Joshua loved making his teepee and getting his indian costume all together. He was pretty particular about what his clothes should be like. I thought it was a great project for the kids to do.
