Night at the museum

The 4th graders at our school work really hard learing about different people from the state of Washington. This research project last about a month.  The kids have to research information, write a paper, write a speech, and make a poster.   Madellyn was assigned Helen Thayer.  (I had never heard of her before!)  Helen Thayer was the 1st woman in the world to travel on foot to the magnetic North Pole.  I was so proud of Madellyn and the amount of time she spent working on this project every single night!

The final step of all their hard work is the "Wax Museum".  The kids all come dressed as their person they were assigned and then we get to wander through the "museum" to see and hear all about these people!  It's a pretty impressive night!

Poor Madellyn was so toasty in her costume!!

This is how she looked when we left the house......

Halfway through the evening she no longer had the coat.......

By the end of the evening she was down to just the snow pants!

Way to go Madellyn, all your hard work paid off!  You did a fantastic job!!
