Academic Fair!

The Academic Fair was a big deal this year! 

The "Wax Museum" is a major tradition at Edison Park and Maddie finally got to do it! The kids dress in character and have a "button" that once pushed, begins their monologue, in character, about their chosen historical figure. She chose Louisa May Alcott of the options provided by her teacher. She researched for weeks, read Little Women....then came the costume. Amazon Prime for the win, once again. BUT then: "Mom, she has brown hair....". Ummmm. A wig (she refused)? So we settled on brown hair spray and ya'll....she looked so different. It was weird. But she nailed her assignment AND looked the part.

The littlest muffin did the Dr. Suess inspired project, which was to create a rhyming character. He chose a "Nug in a mug". They had to create their own character, draw it out and then execute a 3D model of it.

I love that they get so into the projects....and that they love their amazing, arts school that forces them to use their creative skills cause we sure do!
