Wax Museum 2010

The 5th Graders at Greenbrier do something at the end of the school year (you may remember my blog from last year, 5th Grade Wax Museum). It is a wax museum and each student chooses an American History person to study and they are to write a report, prepare a board about that person's life, including pictures, famous quotes, a time line and other important things.

Rebecca chose to be Thomas Jefferson. This came largely in part to the fact that we had just visited his home, Monticello, in March when we visited Mimi in Charlottesville. We really had fun with this one, especially since the biography she read had pictures of some of his neat inventions that we'd seen in person in his house!!!

Rebecca did a great job and learned a lot of additional information about our past President.

I took a bunch of pictures of Rebecca's friends at the Wax Museum - they're all so cute.

(*For some reason, the video of her doing her speech is not loading. We put Christian's on last year and I'd love to do hers too. If I figure it out, I'll add it in another blog. For not, enjoy the pictures!)
