Theodore Roosevelt

Trent has been working on a project for Social Studies called, "Living Museum." Basically they are given an important historical person and they are to dress up like them, give a speech and make up a backboard.  Trent was given Theodore Roosevelt.  We spent several hours working on his speech; between looking up facts, writing it and memorizing it.  Paul and I debated about what he should wear and sadly the backboard was the easiest thing about the project.



For those of you who do not remember Teddy had red hair. 



The day of Trent was VERY nervous.  The school had all of the 5th grade class put their backboards in the hallway and grades 3,4 and 6th were split into groups and walked around to everyone and listened to the 5th graders give there presentation.  So not only were they giving their speech to parents/teachers but also there peers.

It took half a can of Aquanet and gel to get Trents hair to look like that.  This boy needs a hair cut!

Teddy mustash may have been straight but it didn't have nearly as much personality as Trent's!  His outfit is based off of when Roosevelt was in office.

Trent did so well that he was given an A+ on this project!
