Night at the Museum

Tonight the 3rd graders put on a "Night at the Museum" for friends and family. For over a month they have been studying an assigned person throughout history to portray tonight. This assignment was right up Ethan's ally. He loves reading about historical figures (and then quizzing me) and sharing what he has learned. Ethan was assigned Mario Lemieux who, incase you don't know, is one of hockey's all time greatest players.  
Each 3rd grader had a sign with who they were on it along with a button that said "push" which made them come to life. They would tell you all about themselves and then go back to the frozen position to wait for their button to get pushed again.
After Mario told us all about himself and his accomplishments we got his autograph and picture.
 In the next room we found sweet Olivia who was Julia Child. She did a wonderful job on her speech and looked just as cute as can be! 
We learned a lot and Kai had a great time running around pushing as many buttons as he could. His favorite were people wearing wigs! HA Note to self when he is in 3rd grade doing this, make sure he wears a wig!

After it was all over we headed to Simply Yogurt and finished our evening off there. It was such a great night!
