Exploring History Through a Living Statue Museum! 🏛️✨
Scholars in Mrs. VanAlstyne’s 8:1:1 6th, 7th, and 8th grade class have been diving into the world of Ancient Egypt and influential figures of the 1920s and 30s! As part of their research, they’ve been learning to create slide shows, incorporate resources, and add transitions to their presentations.
To bring history to life, each scholar chose a god or influential person and portrayed them in a Living Statue Museum on Friday, March 14th in the Gloversville Middle School Auditorium. What an incredible way to step into the past! 🏺📜🎭
