For the past two months or so Andrew's class has been working on their famous American projects. They had to come up with an outline, write a 2-3 page report, write a 1-2 minute speech and then dress as the character and give that speech. Well, today was the big day. It was so much fun! The kids looked absolutely adorable. As you can see from the pictures they had really great costumes with a wide range of people chosen-sport figures, presidents, evangelists, etc. They stood in a pose and then we pretended to "press a button" and the character came to life. Andrew did a really nice job! I think he had a lot of fun doing it too. He was very tired of saying his speech when it was done. He had to have said it at least 30 times or more! We videoed it, but the volume was really bad. We plan to have him redo it tomorrow and I will post it then so that you can hear it. What a great way to make learning fun. It was a lot of hard work, but I think very well worth it. He learned a lot about Benjamin Franklin.
