Biography Fair

Well, tonight was the big biography fair at DeWitt. When Emiy first heard about the biography fair at school, she came home SO excited. She said she and her friend Rachel wanted to do it together and they wanted to be famous gymnasts. So, we looked online a bit and we decided on Mary Lou Retten. Rachel chose Shannon Miller. We've spent the past month or so, researching (as much as a 1st grader can), Mary Lou and all of her accomplishments. This past weekend, we got together with Rachel and her mom and put together the display board. I think the four of us did a great job (if I do say so myself) :) Emily even had the idea to have them dress up in leotards and we even found some "gold" medals for them to wear.

There was a great turnout for the fair, I think. Lots of kids participated and it was fun to see who everyone portrayed and how they did their boards.
