cute Washington!!!
attended Denzer and his sister's elementary school function a few nights ago...feeling so excited and happy that it has been a while since I set foot into a school...kinda miss all the kids, my kahkis-friends and the hectic lifestyle...human beings are so weird...
it was a nice invitation to their 2nd grade project, whereby the kids choose a famous American whom they like, dress up like them, do up a poster and memorize a little speech on the character whom they are portraying. Guests, parents and friends were invited on that fateful night to go and view/ listen to these cute innocent exhibits , allowing one to learn more abt American history, the famous/ or even those forgotten characters whom once made an impact in someone else's life or left a footprint in USA history....
the 2nd graders were positioned all around the school campus, dressed up, with even unbelivable props....they all had posters and name tags introducing who they were. Each had a little color sticker symbolizing the "START" button for you to press and get their famous speech on their character rolling.
It goes something like this: : Hello! I am George Washington. I was born in....and I died on..." . When I was young.....as I grew older..... I am a famous American because of...."
I truly think that it was a very good opportunity for kids to build up on their self-confidence, brush up on their knowledge of USA history and the famous people of this land, create opportunities for parent and child to work together to pull off the project. I must really agree that the parents here are more supportive and sporting. They really go all out when they do the costumes, (even if some rented... how many parents would borther to go through so much effort??), help with the posters, and even take time to support their kids on presentation night and walk around to listen to the little speeches of other kids....
Tks to Cyn and Sue for their invitation.. makes me miss kids and school so much...
