Forest Elementary’s fourth grade students recently brought history to life through the exciting Living Wax Museum Project, led by fourth grade teacher Mrs. Laura Grunwald.

As part of the project, students selected and researched a historical figure of their choice. Throughout the process, students practiced important research and writing skills by reading about their person, identifying key facts, creating informational posters, and writing detailed note cards.

On Thursday, May 14th, the hard work truly came alive as students transformed into their historical figures by dressing in costume and presenting speeches to visitors. Forest students, staff members, parents, and family members had the opportunity to walk through the “museum” and hear students share fascinating facts and stories about the influential people they portrayed.

From athletes and inventors to entertainers and activists, students showcased a wide variety of historical figures while demonstrating confidence, creativity, and public speaking skills. Guests were impressed by the students’ knowledge, effort, and enthusiasm throughout the event.

The Living Wax Museum was a wonderful educational experience that combined research, writing, creativity, and presentation skills in a fun and memorable way. Forest Elementary is proud of all the fourth grade students for their outstanding work and dedication to the project.
