Fifth Grade Wax Museum

Tonight was the Fifth Grade Wax Museum.  Near the beginning of the year, each fifth grader selected a famous person they were interested in to do a report on.  Brandt, ever Star Wars obsessed, selected George Lucas as his famous person.  We did some research on George, found out about his life, Brandt wrote some interesting facts and events, why he's famous, and then at school, he worked on a poster all about George.  The other fifth graders did the same with their famous person.

Tonight, they all came dressed up and stood around as wax figures of their person.  Each student included a quote, all of which were very inspiring.  The kids were so good about staying in their positions, looking thoughtful/cute/famous, and had obviously worked hard on their projects and costumes.  Fortunately for us, Brandt's costume was super easy.  George Lucas hangs around in jeans and a jacket, and has a bit of scruffy beard, so we got some grey makeup to dab on his face to look like facial hair, and sprayed his hair grey.  Done!  It was fun to see Brandt and his classmates.  In fact, it made me tear up looking at them all and reading their inspiring quotes.
