Reading: Wax Museum   By: Paige Hofschire

On March 9th, the 5th grade will be doing something called the wax museum. For the wax museum, we choose a person to read a biography about. Then, for the wax museum, we dress up as  the person and pretend we are them. We tell about them, like when they were born, tell about their life, and other stuff. When people come to the museum (families, friends) they will have flashlights, and when they shine the flashlight, we start talking about our person. The wax museum is gonna be in the evening and be super cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
