Sam had a big class project called "African American Wax Museum". They had to pick a famous African American and do a report on them. Then they dressed like the person, made a presentation board and stood in front like a wax figure. They had to make some kind of button that people could push and then they would give an oral report on that person. Whew! A lot of work. Sam chose George Washington Carver because he invented peanut butter and Sam loves it. Well it turns out he didn't create peanut butter but did come up with over 300 uses for peanuts! It was very interesting to learn about him. He was a wonderful man-spent his whole life trying to help people. So here he is!
Sam wore a lab coat with a name tag and we got him a salt & pepper mustache. He also had a bowl of peanuts that people could shuck and eat. We tried to make it a multi-sensory experience. The kids loved it.
Here is his presentation board that included his typed report and a time line.
The other kids in the classroom. Sophie came to check it out too. She is the same size as the 4th grader-yikes!
It was a fun experience and he did a really good job. We're proud of you Sam!
