wax from the past

friday morning ethan and i headed to spencer's class for their special presentation of the presidential wax museum. each boy represented a past president, each girl a president's wife. they were dressed at their character and had a red button on their desk that you could push and then they would deliver a speach about their life. i've said before how much i appreciate spencer's awesome teachers and how much spencer has learned in their classroom this year. he LOVED playing the part of abe lincoln although i wished i would've known that he needed a hat - let it go, let it go. he really enjoyed researching about abe's life and learning about what an awesome man he was. ethan woke up with a bad cold - dang it - and wasn't it any mood to have a stranger (spencer wearing a beard) hold him and wouldn't have anything to do with him until he removed the beard! all of the kids did a great job! here's to great teachers!

**if you had to choose a president or president's wife to learn about and represent, who would you choose? i think i'd be nancy reagan, or maybe barbara bush, i love that cute grandma lady.**

What a great teacher to have the kids to such a fun project! A perfect way to truly learn something. I would choose Nancy too. I think everyone was always too hard on her and she really is a nice person.
