In completing a unit of study in April on influential Americans in history, Mrs. McCarthy’s 3rd grade class created “living posters.” Students decorated poster board using a variety of materials and cut holes through which they added their own face to the likenesses of Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, Ruby Bridges, Rosa Parks, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and George Washington. Wearing their creative costumes, students then gave oral reports the week of April 16 to their classmates detailing what they had learned about their chosen historical figure.
