Mrs. Butts' 5th and 6th grade GT students participated in a living wax museum. This activity required students to identify significant contributions of a famous person. They researched someone who has been successful in their goals and dreams. The living wax museum is a collection of visual displays where the GT students, dressed as famous individuals, stand at attention, while other students walk around and tour exhibits illustrating the life of the person represented.
