Students at Pikeville Elementary School experienced some hands-on learning this semester by gearing up for a Living Wax Museum. 89 6th grade students from Jutana Hall's Reading and Language Arts classes participated in Pikeville Elementary's 3rd, 6th grade Living Wax Museum Tuesday and Wednesday. Near the beginning of the school year, students drew a random name out of a bucket, and that name was the character the student would have to learn and portray during the event. I first drew out somebody and I traded them and I got Abraham Lincoln. I was very happy about that. Abraham Lincoln has really interested me. I think he's an interesting man. He did so many awesome things. Students did 100% of the project during school hours. First we have to make a name plate and it has our person's name along with like a little picture to represent it. Then we have to make like a map of their birthplace and what state and we show what city they were born in. Then we had to make a stamp that has a picture that represents our person and we had to do a speech and a poem, so we did a lot of stuff. Students say they learned more than they wanted about their characters and their classmates' characters. He wanted to go to be in the Army and that he was 65 years old whenever he died. Most of the students' costumes were donated or from Pikeville High School's drama department. The school officials said if students had to buy a costume, they were encouraged to shop at Goodwill or United Helping Hands of Pikeville. The event received over 1200 guests. Parents are able to view the museum during a private gallery this evening. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
