Wax Museum

The 3rd graders big project for the year is a Wax Museum.  Each 3rd grade class has their own theme and each student is assigned a person to research and prepare a timeline with important events in their life.  Being a wax museum, the students were supposed to hold perfectly still like wax figures while the families walk through.  Every ten minutes they kick all the visitors out of the room to let the kids stretch for a three minute break.  
Brayden's class had Inventors of the 1800's and he was given Thomas Edison.
Some of the students had to make a prop to go with their person, so with the help of Matt Brayden made a circuit with a light bulb.
The year that Kylee did the wax museum the school had just been given the grant and so they had only purchased a few things.  Brayden's year had a lot more backdrops and neat props.  Brayden's friends had some neat characters also.
