History Makers' Living Museum: Henry the Navigator

For the past month or so, Henry has been working on the big first grade project: the History Makers' Living Museum! The kids pick a history maker, do research and take notes, write and memorize a report, draw a portrait, create a tripanel, and then do a presentation for the class and another for parents and grandparents. It is quite a big project for first grade, but Henry did a fantastic job.

He chose to research Henry the Navigator, the Portuguese prince who started the Age of Exploration. It was surprising how many people did not know about Henry the Navigator! Good thing Henry had a plethora of facts to share.

Henry as Henry the Navigator:

All ready for the big day!


At the Living Museum, visitors pressed a red button on the history makers' hand to make him come to life. 


Henry was so happy that Gramma and Grampa were able to come this year.



We were so proud of Henry


 and all his hard work!
