For Black History Month, each 4th grade student researched a famous African American who had an impact on others. These individuals included Civil Rights leaders, actors, musicians, athletes, inventors, and more. After each student conducted research, they put their information together in a presentation, adding in images to make the presentation eye-catching.
As a follow-up to the Black History Project, the 4th graders participated in a Living Wax Museum on Thursday, March 13 from 12:30-1:30 in the gym. Parents of the 4th grade students who were presenting were invited to attend at this time. Each participating student dressed as their chosen African American or the spouse of that individual. Students stood next to their presentations as a wax figure.
Everyone that was able to attend enjoyed observing the presentations and costumes, while learning interesting facts about people who have helped shape America into the vibrant, diverse country that it is today. Way to go 4th graders!
