Fourth grade students from Horace Mann researched famous Missourians. They designed a poster which
included pictures and facts about the famous Missourian they had chosen for our living Museum.

Each student gave their presentation complete with a poster and display to other classes who
came to visit the live Museum. Their families and guests were also invited to attend the presentation. As an added bonus, many of the students decided to dress up as their famous Missourian!
