alex was one of 8 third graders selected to participate
in a special talent development
wax museum
for over a month
he studied abraham lincoln
he learned about his childhood
his work in congress and as president
and his death
THEN ...
he put all of the things he learned into a speech
on wax museum day
he and his 7 third grade friends dressed up as their character
other students came to see them in small groups
they would push 'his button'
and alex would tell them
all about himself
(abe lincoln)
i recorded one of the first speeches he gave
BUT he gave the speech over TWENTY times!!
we are SO proud of him!
when he first found out he was chosen he wasn't sure he even wanted to do it
BUT
he decided to try it
and i am SO glad he did!
he did great
and so did all of the other kids!
he was the only kid from his class to do it
so when he got back to class
he got a standing ovation
totally worth celebrating with a frozen yogurt treat
nice job today, abe
