Living Wax Museum Parent Letter
This living wax museum project is by far one of my favorite things about teaching 3rd grade. Truth be told this wax museum project can be used from 2nd grade all the way until 6th grade.

This is just one piece of the project (the letter to send to parents), but you can grab the bundle
