So close to Summer!

Emily is more than ready for summer vacation. She has one week left and the time can't seem to move quickly enough for her. 

As is often the case, the end of the school year involves a big project. In her social studies class, they are holding a Living Wax Museum event tomorrow. Each student chose a historical figure (living or dead) that they were interested in learning about. Then, they researched the person's life and created a tri-fold with information about the person. Tomorrow, they are supposed to dress up as their chosen person and then "come to life" to recite a speech about the person when other students approach their tri-fold. Who did Emily choose? Much to her teacher's dismay - Madonna. LOL.

I think that her teacher was concerned that, as part of her research, she would encounter images or song lyrics that were not age appropriate. However, she seems to have done fine with it. The attire was also a concern in terms of age appropriateness, but I think we navigated that effectively, as well.

Due to COVID, I think that everyone will give their speech through Zoom, so hopefully Emily will be able to feel involved and well-integrated into the event. There are already end-of-year events that she has had to miss, which has sort of disappointed her, but overall, she has done great with being online this year. That said, the summer break may be even more welcome this year than in past years.
