Learning came to life during a recent Living Museum at Forest Oaks Elementary! Second grade students completed a project in which they chose a famous person in history to research. The students then sought out important information about their famous person and created a biography. After creating a biography, the students picked their favorite facts about their person to make into a speech.

The students held the Living Museum at the end of the research project to showcase all of their hard work. They were able to dress up and give their speech as if they were that person.  Parents as well as students and teachers were invited to attend. Speeches were given by such famous historical figures as Rosa Parks, George Washington, Amelia Earhart, and many others. The students enjoyed every minute of their presentation and look forward to participating in additional “hands-on” learning in the future.
