3rd grade fun

March is Women's History Month and the 3rd graders had to do projects on an influential woman.  Adrienne got Janet Reno, who is a woman albeit somewhat ambiguously.

They gave her a book to do some research.  I made her stop running around the house in her dress up clothes long enough to snap a picture with it.  I told her to 'look confused.'

Every Friday Adrienne brings home a classroom newsletter.  Each week 2 kids get to be the editors and every kid tells them an interesting thing happening in their life that week.  The editors get to decide which 10 or so cool facts make it into the newsletter.  It's mostly fascinating stuff like "Jack has a swim meet" and "Emily is visiting her grandma this weekend."  Last month when Adrienne got to be the editor, one newsworthy bit was "Summer learned how to get more hair volume using only a brush."  Way to go, Summer.  Last week's included "Sara is going to Jamaica.  Todd is going to Target."  Heh.  It reminds me of my dad's response when people brag about their travels - "I was to St. Paul once."

The kids have spring break next week and I hear it's supposed to get into the 70's.  Yee-haw!
