Emily's class had to pick a historical figure, research that person, and deliver an oral and written report about the person's life. Emily got to read hers at her class' language arts night this past week.
This was a great project for the class. The kids had to work very hard to do their research and writing, and after a week and a half of work Emily was very proud of herself for what she had accomplished. She was also very nervous about reading her biography in front of her entire class during the day, and her entire class and a standing room full of parents that evening.
A big thanks goes to Ninny Kathy for making the costume!

The Adamsaurus.
The Adamsaurus is both a plant and meat eater, likes to run and stomp around, and will occasionally have a bad attitude. This dinosaur sports two long and muscular legs, sometimes 2 or 3 claws on the end of the arms, and occasionally a snotty nose. The Adamsaurus also enjoys playing with dogs, reading books, and playing with the Emilysaurus, Daddytops, and Mommybigneck. The Adamsaurus is a very rare dinosaur as only one has been known to exist.
Here is a picture captured tonight of the Adamsaurus. Notice the generally pleasant demeanor on its face. It must have been well fed, exercised and rested for it to have such a happy expression. 
Mrs. Woodward's 3rd grade class is researching historical figures, their accomplishments, and what their lives were like. The children choose one figure on which to present a first person biography. Emily wanted Abraham Lincoln seeing that we had lived in Springfield; however, someone chose him before Emily could claim him!
Since Emily has been reading the Little House books, she decided to research and do her report on Laura Ingalls Wilder. The children are required to dress as their subjects and since Mom doesn't sew (at least not very well!), we figured a call to Ninny Kathy was in order!
Em received the finished project last night. Didn't it turn out awesome? Thanks Ninny Kathy!
He cut....
Emily's class, along with North Glendale's FANTASTIC art teacher, Megan Boyer, created this painting for the NG Silent Auction using the kids' fingerprints:
