Allie's 4th grade class puts on a wax museum every spring. The kids choose a person in history and reads a book about them. They have to write a report, write a speech as if they were the person and talk about their life, make a poster with pictures and a timeline of their life, and then to top it off they have a wax museum. Each child dresses up as their person, makes a homemade button and displays their poster. Then the other children in their school and parents are invited to walk through this Wax museum. The children stand still until someone pushes their button and then the person comes to life and they recite their speech.
Allie chose a girl named Sadako Sasaki. She enjoyed learning why this young girl was so famous. And what 1,000 papers cranes had to do with her life. Allie learned how to make paper cranes just like Sadako did and she didn't quite fold 1,000 of them, but she did make quite a bit and got pretty good at it. I tried to get a picture of Allie when she was standing still as a wax statue, but everytime I turned around, someone had pushed her button. She did a great job and I think this was one of her favorite projects. If you want to know more about Sadako, you will just have to look her up and find out.
