Wax Museum




Being in 5th grade here is a big deal.  The children spend half the year studying the states and the other half of the year studying the government and presidents for social studies.  Every 5th grader is assigned a state to do a 'state' report on.  Then at the end of the term the 5th graders each choose a remarkable person from their state of study and make the school look like a wax museum for all the other younger children.

Rainy was assigned Ohio at the beginning of the year.  So for her inspirational wax museum character, she chose to be Annie Oakley.  Rainy stood in her spot all morning with a little button affixed to her and if any children (or visiting parents) pressed it, she gave a little spiel on Annie's life. :)
