Last week, Nina’s class was one of three third grade classes to participate in a “wax museum” presentation. Each kid was assigned a famous American, and he/she had to create a speech talking in the first person perspective of whoever was assigned. They had to wear a costume of their famous American, and they also had to make a poster presentation. Once the museum was open, people could “press the button” on the students hand and they would begin their speech. It was really cute. Parents were invited, then students from different classes in the school came through the wax museum as well. It was a lot of talking and presenting for the kids, but they all did a great job! At least one little kid fainted and another threw up (maybe from the hot costumes, the nervous energy, etc.), but Harriet Tubman stood strong! 
Lyla had her second game of the season and the Blazing Badgers are doing great! They played another great game, winning easily, but it started out a little disappointing for Lyla. We had gotten all the way to the field, and the referee was checking over the kids before the game when it was discovered that Lyla didn’t have on her shin guards under her socks. I had to hop in the car and drive back home, get shin guards and drive back, so she missed the chance to play in the first two quarters and most of the third. However, when she got in the game she played so hard, scoring two goals and had a great assist. While we weren’t proud of her for forgetting her shin guards (after being told to go up to her room and put them on), we were proud of her for not letting the setback keep her from having fun and having a great game!
