Every year the 4th graders at Salem pick a significant historical character and research them. They have to learn all about the person, their life, why they were important, and actually dress the part! They "become" the person and tell their story! The parent and other classes are invited in to "press" their button on the table and learn about their character. It was really great! Rachel chose Helen Keller. We all learned so much about this amazing lady!! Rachel dove into books about her, learned quotes, and we watched the Miracle Worker to give her ideas. So fun! One of the best parts was seeing Rachel's face when Nathan showing up unexpectedly to support her even if he only had 5 minutes and then had to leave. What a great daddy!!!
