With dimmed lights, presenters ready and our professor's anouncement, the grand opening of our Living History Museum commenced!
The Living History Museum today was so much fun. This is a wonderful new way to learn about history. In class today, the historical people represented included Ruby Bridges, Jackie Kennedy, Louisa May Alcott, Florence Nightingale, Mahalia Jackson, Jackie Robinson, J.P. Morgan, and Cleopatra. I don't remember the names of the others but they were: history teacher/astronaut (awesome costume), a major league female baseball player, female fighter pilot, and congresswoman. We have another Museum day left and it will be great to see and learn about many more people. I hear that Calamity Jane, Bonnie Kate, Anne Sullivan, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton will be there! I love the fact that everyone presents in first person during their talks. It is just like we are sitting down and listening to our grandparents tell us stories of their lives.
Im sure you did a wonderful job presenting yours. I hope you have a great week.
