Every year there is a "Special Person's Day" at school. Typically grandparents are invited to join in the class activities with a breakfast reception etc. This year Devin asked me to be his special person. (Awww...) So, how could I say no?? Well, there was a bit of a twist to the story. His class decided to have a Potato Pagent. They had to take a real potato and dress it up like their special person. You see where this is going?
Well, we made potato Kelly and I think he did a fabulous job. The tear-jerker part was when the kids also had to write a paragraph about their special person and read it aloud to everyone of the day. I'm pleased to report I made it through without being a blubbering mess!!
The last photo is a very cool thing Devin's class did this year as they studied Native Americans. It's called a winter count. What the kids did was brainstorm a few events from each year of their life and then translate it into pictures. Their birth starts in the center, and each thing goes in chronological order out from it. I thought the whole thing was very cool (kind of like an early scrapbook).
