Third grade is such a fun year at Lily's school, they do so many fun projects. The Living Library was by far my favorite!! Each kid got assigned a historical person (some still living like Jane Goodall, and Steven Speilberg and some dead like Einstein and Elvis). They had to research their person and write and memorize a speech that briefly told about their life and accomplishments. Lily was assigned Elizabeth Blackwell, the first female doctor. The day of the presentation, all the kids dressed as their people and we got to walk around to each person and watch they came to life and recited their speeches. The room was dimly let and you held a flashlight on the kids as they were talking. I was just So blown away by the whole thing!! How hard these kids worked, how much they learned, how cute they looked and how well they did. I loved every second of it!! It was awesome.
