Description of Event: ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS WAX MUSEUM

May 23, 2024

  • The Ancient Civilization Wax Museum is a culminating event for 6th Grade Social Studies.  The sixth grade Social Studies curriculum focuses on the study of various ancient civilizations.  At the end of the year, each student researches a famous ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek or Roman of history or Myth. They Memorize the “Four W’s” (Who, What, When, Where) about the person or god(dess); and recreate him/her by dressing as the person or god(dess).   They also practice mannerisms consistent with the person’s or god(dess) character for a wax museum of the ancient civilizations.  Then we perform in the hallways of our school.  Each student has a “Button” that they create.  As a museum visitor passes by they can press the button to indicate when the sixth grader can start the presentation. The Wax Museum is on May 23, 2024. Parents and relatives are all welcome to attend at one of the following times.
