FITCHBURG — Second-graders at Applewild School in Fitchburg performed a Living Wax Museum in one of the school’s two libraries.
In preparing for the Living Wax Museum, students build upon the skills introduced in first grade during their Animal Project. Students pick a historical or famous figure to research using the school’s library. They learned to synthesize and summarize information, and create visual representations (both in costume and a tri-fold informational board) of the research they conducted.
The rest of Applewild’s Lower School came through the exhibit and was able to see what each famous person looked like and read about their history.
