Wax Museum




Tuesday at school Kylie's 4th grade class turned into a wax museum. It was really neat, each child decided on a person they wanted to be. They researched and wrote a small piece about the person and then they had to get into character. Can you guess who Kylie is?
We have been fans for a long time of Little House on the Prairie and so Laura Ingalls Wilder was her choice. My mom's friend had this dress and bonnet her mother had made her to wear in a 1963 centennial day parade. It was old, but in such great condition. It was perfect for her to get into character. The kids lined up around the gym and pretended to be wax figures. Parents and other students would go around and press a button they had on their shirt to make them come to life. Laura Ingalls Wilder did a great job.

I love that activity. They used to do that in Oxford. The kids always did a good job. Kylie, you make a great Laura.

That's cool. ZB didn't get to do that. Maybe next year, CB will!
