This afternoon/evening is one of my fave school activities. It’s Fall Festival. Ya know, cake walks, giant slides, bean bag toss, grilled hot dogs and hamburgers, candy apples. It’s always a ton of work, but it’s so much fun and the kids love it.
Not quite so much fun was the presentation/skit The Girl had to put together for school today. They have to be a character from the book Freedom Train and present a 2 to 3 minute skit in front of the class. On the rubric, a fifth of the grade is based on them presenting the skit in a historically accurate costume. I can’t tell you how excited I’ve been about trying to put together a historically accurate outfit from the early to mid 1800’s in between all the other activities this week. :crazy:
that sounds fun.

She had a blast! It’s her last year in elementary school (sniff, sniff) :(, so there is no Fall Festival next year. But, The Girl was so sweet and thanked me for taking her and her two friends. She told me several times how much she appreciated it.
