Families were invited in to see the culmination of the students’ hard work.

The children chose an historical figure and set out to learn all about them. The wrote a biography of the person and then for the day of the museum, many dressed as their chosen person. They decorated large tri-fold display boards with pictures and information about the person and were ready to give a brief presentation when a visitor came by and requested it.
