The sixth-grade class hosted a Greek Mythology wax museum that left a lasting impression on all who attended.
Ms. Wingler's lessons in Ancient History included a deep dive into the gods and goddesses in Greek Mythology. The students dedicated themselves to thoroughly researching the various myths and legends of the characters. This extensive preparation allowed them to create detailed and authentic portrayals.
Each student donned designed and crafted costumes that included props to embody the deities they had studied so thoroughly. They also prepared informative pamphlets with fascinating facts and stories about their characters.
Staff and students from all over the school flocked to the museum, eager to see the students' hard work. Visitors were invited to "activate" the statues as they walked through the exhibits, triggering interactive presentations. Now, in character, the students would come to life and deliver engaging monologues with dynamic explanations of the myths they represented.
The wax museum was not just a display but an educational journey, allowing attendees to learn about Greek mythology in a memorable way. The sixth graders' enthusiasm shone through every aspect of the museum, making it an enjoyable and educational event for the entire school community.
