Longleaf Elementary has been named a Participating School by the MAC (Mississippi Arts Commission). We have many professional development opportunities for our teachers to attend. We will be integrating arts in our classroom and throughout the school to allow our students to deepen their knowledge and learning experiences.

Wax Museum

Mrs. Richards' and Mrs. Davis' fourth grade students concluded their unit of study on Native Americans by creating a wax museum! They integrated their knowledge of tableaux with research skills, speaking skills, and first-person writing skills to showcase important events from Native American history. Students were responsible for researching the event, writing their own scripts, and memorizing their scripts. They designed their own backdrop, costumes, and tableaux pose. Some of the exhibits included Pocahontas, The French and Indian War, The Trail of Tears, and The Battle of Little Bighorn. 

Longleaf students were given the opportunity to visit the Wax Museum! One kindergarten student said, "That was the coolest thing ever! I can't wait to do that when I'm in fourth grade." 


Mrs. Richards and Mrs. Davis did a fabulous job organizing this Wax Museum! 
These kindergarten students are engaged in this learning experience!
They are very interested in what these fourth graders have to say!
