2nd grade turned into a full-blown wax museum 🤩
We traveled through history with an amazing lineup of “historical figures” — from Cleopatra to Lady Gaga, and everyone in between! The creativity, confidence, and hard work from all of our second graders was incredible. They researched, memorized, and presented like pros, and we couldn’t be more proud. 🏛️✨
What a fun and unforgettable way to bring history to life! 💛📚
