Living History Night!

As you may know, our class has been working actively this year on historical figures they chose themselves. The assignment was to choose a character they admired/or wished to learn more about, find interesting facts about their lives, and create a costume to transform themselves into that person.

Last night, as a teacher, I was nearly moved to tears by their hard work and creativity with this project. Parents, teacher, friends, and family enjoyed a night not soon to be forgotten. Without going on too much, take a look through the photos and see for yourself! (These are my cell phone photos not the good camera ones but you can at least get an idea..)
