Art City Elementary

Art City fifth grade students held their annual wax museum on Friday, January 16. Students dressed up as influential people from United States' history. Some of the characters included Babe Ruth, Helen Keller, James Naismith, Amelia Earheart, Dr. Seuss, and Lillian Disney. All Art City students, as well as 5th grader's families, were able to walk through the museum and stop and listen to the "famous person" tell a little about themselves and their history. Art City has been doing the wax museum for over 24 years. The wax museum gives students an opportunity to read biographies, learn how to write a research paper and create a slide show presentation about their character. Students have fun dressing up, and teachers enjoy seeing the efforts put into the characters.

Art City second grade students have been learning about the Westward Expansion. This quilt shows some of the things that they have been learning. Students learned about covered wagons, steamboats, the Trail of Tears, the Transcontinental Railroad, and the American Buffalo.

Mrs. Howard's second grade class built their own railroad in honor of our CKLA unit on Westward Expansion.
