Biography Breakfast
Each year at our elementary school, the 3rd graders pick a person from history and read a book about that person. They are then required to write a report and a short speech about what they learned. They practice this speech for a few weeks and then present the speech to parents at the Biography Breakfast. All the third graders come to school in costume and get to eat breakfast before their presentations.
My daughter chose Annie Oakley as her character (she had seen the movie Annie Get Your Gun and enjoyed it). I had an old skirt from a costume and we found a boys button down shirt at Kohls for $2.00. She also wore a cowboy hat. I am glad that she choose someone unique as there were about 10 Helen Kellers and 10 Pocohantas. There were also a number of children who chose Albert Einstein, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thomas Edison.
Here she is eating breakfast
Waiting for her turn….
Done! (i.e. Mom, quit taking pictures of me!!!)
