Biography Time!

We had an abundance of celebrities on our campus today...as we welcomed Albert Einstein, Teddy Roosevelt, Mary Todd Lincoln, John Paul Jones...and many others!  It was an exciting culmination to a very long unit of writing.  Students have worked for two weeks through all aspects of the writing process to produce their masterpiece presentation.  The costumes they wore were a testament to the willingness of their parents to support the endeavor to have all of these famous people make a "live" appearance...even though some of them have been gone awhile!  Bet they never dreamed that they would be portrayed in so many cute ways...as we see from year to year in our third grade rooms!  What fun!  I love teaching third grade!!
