Third graders at Yeshivat He’Atid spent months of hard work researching significant historical figures for their Living Museum project. Students chose a personality that meant something to them personally, and read a biography about their chosen historical figure. Students took formal notes on the biography and created a scrapbook page which included a significant quote, five adjectives to describe their person, a portrait and a life lesson. Additionally, student drew a three-panel cartoon about an important even in their person’s life.

After completing their work, students invited their parents to come to Yeshivat He’Atid after hours for the Living Museum. Students dressed up as their research subjects and stayed in character throughout the evening. Visitors asked these important figures about themselves resulting in an evening of learning and fun! Kol hakavod to Mrs. Pransky and Mrs. Engelmayer and, of course, their amazing students for all their hard work!
