In celebration of Kansas Day on January 29, the 4th grade students presented a Wax Museum. Each student researched an important historical figure from Kansas, developed a speech, and decorated a poster. The students pretended they were wax statues until the visitors pushed a button that would make the character "come to life."  Then they presented their speech about the life and impact of their historical person on the state of Kansas.  

The class also had their book titled “What Makes Our State Great?” on display for people to see. This was an ABC book the class had published back in December. Students wrote paragraphs connected to each letter of the alphabet about topics that showed a variety of topics that make Kansas a great state!
