Audrey Hepburn

The fourth graders in Waukee do a research and report on a person.  I'm not sure exactly what the guidelines are for choosing this person, but Brooklyn chose Audrey Hepburn.  She did research and wrote a report and put together a "getting to know me" type of speech.  Then, the entire fourth grade dressed up like their people and put on a wax museum.  They stood like statues until someone pushed the button by their display.  They then recited their speech and went back to the original position.  It was pretty fun to see.  A little crowded for my taste, but big crowds of people I don't know make me uncomfortable.  Regardless, without further ado, here's Audrey!

Brooklyn did a great job.  She made her speech look like a book so while she was reciting it, it looked like one of her props.  It was fun to see who everyone chose and how they portrayed that person.  When Julianne and I got there, Brooklyn wouldn't acknowledge us until we pushed her button.  After her speech she gave Julianne a hug and had a grin for me.  Before that, she was NOT going to give up on her statue, though.  Oh these Kids.  One more day of school and then SUMMER!! Heaven give me patience.  LOL.  Happy Summer!
