Wax Museum

Carter's fourth grade project was the wax museum. Each student chose and researched a public figure from World War II. Carter chose Joseph Stalin. He wrote a speech and prepared a costume and last week it was show time! The idea for the wax museum was so clever. All of the fourth graders were spread out around the sanctuary. Right next to each student was a chair with a button on it that said "Press!" The characters would be frozen in place until a visitor pushed their button and then would come alive to present their speech (in the first person) about their historical person. Great idea, right? Well, by the end of the event at least 6 kids had either puked or passed out. Oh no! Carter didn't pass out, but he did say that he felt the floor sway at one point.

Here he is - all dressed up to tell people about Joseph Stalin.

Little brother and sister enjoyed pushing his button.

Giving his speech.

This was Carter's identification sign that he made for the wax museum.
