Fifth Grade Wax Museum

Today, we went to the Fifth Grade Wax Museum in the hallways, here at Eliot School. Each fifth grader chose a famous person to research. They made 2 dimensional life-size models of each person out of cardboard, paper and clothes. In each model’s pocket was an object or picture that represents why they are famous. The fifth graders wrote some facts about the person to share with us. We asked questions like, “Why did you choose to represent this famous person?” We learned a lot from the fifth graders!

P.S. I was very impressed with our third grader's effort to make this entry as clear as possible for you, their readers. They were very conscientious of sharing the event as clearly as possible. They considered what the reader would be wondering, word choice and punctuation all very carefully. They have grown a lot as writers this year!
