The Wax Museum

For the wax museum I think I will do a great job on my project. What I will remember the most is that Alan Shepard was the first American in space. I liked the costume that I have for the wax museum. The most challenging part was the speech because you have to put all of the important stuff in to one small speech. But my most proud of my speech because I worked hard. I think my class did a great job on the wax museum.
