Take a look at third grade's Living Wax Museum! Students worked to select a subject to research for Black History Month. They then created a display of their research and dressed in character to represent their subject. Visitors were able to learn more as they visited each student and pressed their 'button' to have the wax statue come to life to recite a short speech about their featured subject.
On Thursday, March 20th, the halls of Greenwood Elementary were transformed into a vibrant showcase of history as 5th-grade students proudly presented their Native American exhibition. The event, a culmination of weeks of research and creativity, featured intricate dioramas that brought to life various aspects of Native American cultures, traditions, and historical events.
As part of the exhibition, students also prepared oral presentations to accompany their dioramas, explaining the historical and cultural context of their work. Parents, teachers, and fellow classmates toured the displays, asking questions and engaging in discussions about the importance of honoring and understanding Native American heritage.
Fourth grade pop up art show during parent teacher conferences at GES. Fourth grade watercolor paintings and a few drawn portraits were on display!
