Zoe's Living History Performance

We are such proud parents!!!  Zoe brought home a form one day, letting us know that she needed to pick a person/symbol from history to research and write about.  Daddy took her to the library and narrowed it down to Walt Disney and Amelia Earhart.  Her teacher assigned her Amelia Earhart and we were reading all the books that we checked out from the library.  She was instructed to write a few sentences and then she was to memorize them.  I learned that it would be a performance and she would need a costume as well.  As a teacher, I always love the homemade costumes better than something purchased, so I decided to get to work.  Wendy gave us a brown cardigan that she didn't need anymore and we got the felt and fabric needed to create the rest.  It is one that we will be saving and perhaps her sister can be the same or someone can be a pilot for Halloween.  We were extremely pleased with the whole class' presentation.  Zo's teacher works so hard with her class and we really appreciate it.  Zoe has come so far from the super shy 3-4 year old little girl, who would not sing or dance with her preschool classes at all to her stellar performance this week.
