5th Grade Wax Museum

Today was Kylies 5th grade wax museum. It was so fun to go see all of the kids in their costumes and poses. They had to do research, write a report, and then pose as an influential person in history for this project. They had to stand, or sit, perfectly still for 2 1/2 hours, while all the parents and the rest of the school visited their museum. Kylie was Ruby Bridges, who was the first black girl to attend an all white school.When she enrolled, all the other parents pulled their kids out of the school so she was the only student left. She needed security guards each day to go to school, because people were so angry and wanted segregation. It wasn't long before integration was more widely accepted in schools, and it gave blacks the same opportunities for education that the whites had. Any way....here is some cute pictures of some really good costumes. Aren't they creative?
