ST. PAUL —
The St. Paul third graders hosted a Community History Wax Museum on April 24. Mrs. Wagner, the third grade teacher, has organized this for six years in order for the people in the community to learn a little more history about St. Paul. The third graders dressed up as the person they interviewed that is still around in their lives and memorized a speech about their interview. The third graders stay at their station and do not move unless some one puts change in his or her jar, then they portray their historical person. Each third grade student had researched a person from St. Paul or the surrounding area.
This year Ashlyn Gahman interviewed Ester Gahman, her great great grandmother. Ashlyn said that the hardest part of her speech was saying, “She has 14 grandchildren, 35 great grandchildren, and 16 great great grandchildren.” Ashlyn learned what year her Grandmother was born.
Irelyn Foley interviewed her grandmother, Dedication Agoo Monette. The most challenging part of her speech was remembering the order of the country's she lived in. She learned that there was no other way but to always be honest, from her grandmother. The most interesting thing she learned was that her grandmother was not hurt by the explosion of Mt. Pinotubo in the Philippines, even though it was practically in her backyard.
Annabella Beachner interviewed Anna Beachner, her grandmother. Annabella had a hard time memorizing her speech. She found that her grandmother, Anna, used to live in St. Paul and now the kindergarten teacher Mrs. Dent lives in her house, which is the most interesting thing she learned along with how they used to kill chickens.
Mrs. Wagner stated that the evening was a success because the students portrayed their historical figure with honor. Most students and parents became more acquainted with their ancestors and community background, which is the purpose of the project.
