Fifth Grade Wax Museum

Submitted by carrie.vannosdol on

On Thursday, March 4, the halls at Park View Elementary were buzzing with famous Americans.  Each fifth grader portrayed a different famous American from history.  The students were in costumes, created displays, and shared their research about a famous American.  As visitors to the "museum" passed by, the students provided brief narratives, written in the 1st person. This made for crowded, yet interesting hallways.  The fifth grade classes also provided a musical program for their parents.

Third Grade Mechanics

To celebrate learning about simple machines, third grade students at Park View Elementary participated in a Simple Machines Fair. Each student made their own simple machine to display at the fair to show off their knowledge to the rest of the school, as well as parents. The student's  creativity and ability to apply what they learned was very impressive. The machines were all different shapes and sizes, but they all were able to scientifically do work using one, or a combination or, the six simple machines. Some of the projects included catapults, dog feeders, and homemade traps.
