WAX MUSEUM AT ACS - Our
5th grade classes will present the
annual History Wax Museum at
ACS this week.
All kinds of famous people
from the past - including inven
tors, Presidents, artists, sports
figures, authors and world lead
ers - will make an appearance.
And, each historic figure will be
ready with a short speech that
will inform us of his or her sig
nificant contributions to society.
The History Wax Museum is
a great academic tool because it
gives students a hands-on way
to learn history, and it provides
a wonderful opportunity for
young people to learn how to
speak in public. Thanks to our
wonderful 5 th grade teachers
for putting together this special
event.
