Lily really wanted to be Fancy Nancy but there were already a few of them so we decided since we had the old lady wig from Halloween -- Lily should be the old lady from this book...
Here is the old lady herself. She said it was really hard to keep the shell by her mouth all day (it really was only 1/2 hour). She looked great -- and had a fun time.The fifth graders at school participated in 'mini society'. This is where the students learn about what it takes to run a business (taxes, rent, etc.). The kids then all have to set up a booth and try to make some money (the other grades are given some fake money to spend).
I have to say that Cole & I weren't terribly motivated to do this. So instead of making something to sell Cole had a raffle. He sold tickets to win one of 4 candy prizes. Here he is in his booth..."Cole's Candy Raffle".
So is it bad that I am ready to have a break from school projects? Now I'm off to make end of year teacher gifts!
