A tradition that spans more than two decades at Lockhart Elementary School in the Massapequa School District was back on April 10, as second graders created a living wax museum. It was the culmination of a weeks-long biography writing unit.
Second graders research and then dressed up as many famous figures from the past and present.
Each student selected a famous person from the past or present to research. Second grade teachers noted that it had to be a person was made a positive contribution to the world or was a good role model. Students selected athletes, entertainers, entrepreneurs, scientists, world leaders and more.
First graders got to see the biography research project that awaits them next year.
The cafeteria was transformed into a wax museum and students, dressed like their famous figures, took spots around the room. Parents and siblings were invited in. They could go around the room and listen to each student’s prepared speech, which included achievements and interesting facts.
