Living MuseumA fourth grade tradition at Hawthorn is to do Living Museum. The kids research a famous person and write a biography on them. Then they "become" that person. When visitors to the museum come through they push a button and the students recite their memorized piece about the famous person. Last night, Thomas let me know that today was Living Museum. So today he became Brian Jaques, on eof his favorite authors. BJ is old and bald with a gray beard, so we cut Thomas' hair short. Here are the before and after pix.
Then add an English-style hat, and some tweed.
Add a beard and here Thomas is at school today. He did a great job on his presentation also.
Aren't school projects grand?
Easter
I've been too busy to post, with not much to write about anyway, but have been doing a few things besides school these days. First of all, I managed to sew Melody an Easter dress.
Then doing that reminded Melody and I that we had material bought last summer that we hadn't finished. So we sewed a skirt for Melody and then last Saturday when I was at the hospital all day, she made the shirt. I was proud of her because she did almost the whole thing by herself. When I came home, we had a couple small steps to finish. Anyway, here it is.
I don't think that I like to sew like I used to, but it is fun to do with Melody.
We also celebrated Easter by eating ham and potatoes. The Easter bunny hid some baskets and eggs in our basement even though the kids are way too old for such nonsense.
