The 2nd graders at Carroll Elementary dressed up on Monday as a famous American. Allison was Helen Keller. She had to dress up a big cut out doll as her American, do an outline, write or type a two page report, and do a 2 - 5 minute presentation to the class on her American. During the presentation, she was dressed up as Helen Keller, and she had to speak as if she were the character. That was a little difficult given the Helen Keller did not talk in the traditional way, but Allison learned how to sign the name Helen and The End. We were also able to check out a Braille book from the Library that she could share with her class. We were a little stumped on her costume since she doesn't have any clothes that look like they are from that time period, but I was lucky and found an old-fashioned looking dress at a thrift store. We found the hat an antique mall. In the afternoon the 2nd graders hosted the Famous American Museum. They stood as statues in groups and when you pushed the button on their hand (a sticker), they came to life and told you all about themselves. Some of the costumes were so impressive, and all the children did such a good job on their presentations. Between this and the dinosaur project, I'm glad we are finished with these, and we're really looking forward to Spring Break next week.
